What is the argument? Chapter Two, Group Two

This prezi demonstrated a more advanced thought process in my opinion, offering a large image to view as a kind of summary, yet I still do not agree with their argument. This group also argued that writing is a technology, offering the reference to Bolter's text where he uses the term 'techne' to describe technology in a broader sense. The image of a computer formed by the videos, quotes, and analysis' was very creative and helped to enforce their argument. Although creative, I personally hated the design. I struggled to follow because I was so caught up in trying to read the jumbled words. I think the design of a computer could have been used with the text more spread out, to help keep the general argument while making the entire presentation easier to follow. This group made an interesting argument, saying that humans are essentially a part of technology. I understand how humans help make writing a technology, but I do not think they expanded on this interesting point enough to make it valid. One part of their argument I enjoyed was when they focused on the fact that technology cannot function as a writing space without people. This not only makes sense, but also helps to argue why writing could be considered a technology. Overall, I enjoyed this prezi because the support to their overall argument that writing is a form of technology was elaborated on and explained.
