McCulloch spends a lot of time this chapter talking about how written text has and hasn't changed over time, I suspect to add an air of familiarity, continuity, and to push back against that fear of the strange and confusing things The Youths are doing. I feel like because of this, a timeline I made sampling a few text-based dialects over time might be relevant and interesting to the class! As a full disclaimer, I made this visual as part of a project last semester, but if it makes the professor feel any better, it did take me approximately 600 years to get it to upload and then get it formatted on Blogger.
Your bit about the upload time, etc. made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool, though. Thanks for sharing it. It works quite well in conversation with McCulloch's point.
I remember this presentation last semester, and it makes even more sense in the context of this class. I know you previously stated that you had read and used McCulloch's book in your research for the timeline, so it was cool to see that info put in a graphic organizer. How very internet-minded of you ;).
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was definitely because I'm super smart and forward thinking and not at all because the professor made us make our own graphics for the assignment! :P
DeleteI really like the use of the chart pictures. As I put in my blog post I’m not very familiar with a lot of acronyms so if they were sent to me I would be lost ha ha. This seems like a really interesting presentation!
ReplyDeleteWow I’m sorry I didn’t realize that it was sorted by date. This is more even interesting than I thought! (Not that it wasn’t before). It is crazy how writing, texting and Internet language has changed over the years. Even before social media!
ReplyDeleteSo cool, Lee, and I think my the titles are my favorite part:) I also love the historical timeline effect and how that makes it all make sense and puts it into perspective.
