A New Way to Look at the New Writing John Hendricks, University of Arizona Speech is structured through the entire fabric of the human person.
Writing depends on consciously contrived rules.
I am suggesting that the impulse for that movement is part of the momentum of the Industrial Age and hence the large alliances of late among communications industries and keepers or movers of data. The contrary metaphor more appropriate and visionary for the post-industrial society is one of liquidity in which hardware is subordinate and acts as a medium not an end in itself. Authorship of this fluid, dialogic metaphor must be from the Academy, which lacks a commercial stake. However, we must cautiously consider the internalized empiricism manifested within the Academy itself, also I argue driven by a tool metaphor. Such forces must be examined here and by others to ensure that the momentum I speak of does not adopt a de facto standard that is stale and inappropriate to the changed situation of post-industrial communications.
