Document Summary
Oral cultures: memories, thoughts and expressions are organized by the spoken word, without the technologies of literacy (i. e. print) Secondary orality: primary orality refers to those cultures that are unaware of written or printed technology. Secondary orality refers to high-technology cultures that use new forms of orality such as the television, radio, telephone or internet. Sensus communis healthy, natural state: all senses translated equally into each other. Language: only semiotic system capable of interpreting another semiotic system. Walkman"s: walkman use providing them with an invisible shell within the boundaries of both cognitive and physical space become reformulated. Even though its in your ears you feel like it"s all around your head because you"re coming : don"t hear anything but the music, walkman"s are mutli-faceted transformative devices for users. Edison realism test: reveals another little-appreciated fact about recorded music: listeners and performers cannot see one another.
