Juan Monroy — Assignment: Print in the Digital Age

Prompt

One of the common themes we’ve encountered in the readings on the “print revolution” has been that the advent of print and the spread of information and knowledge transformed societies in fundamental ways.

With reference to at least one of the readings from “The Print Revolution” section of Communication and History and the Late Age of Print, how has print evolved in the digital age? Does it serve a similar fundamental purpose as it did in the historical past? Has the “digital revolution” transformed print in a way that it now serves an entirely different function?

Citations

Read my guidelines on How to Quote, Paraphrase, and Cite.

TL;DR

Avoid quoting. Paraphrase instead.

When direct quotes, cite like this:: ”Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua" (Wu 11).
When paraphrasing, cite like this:: Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. (Wu 220).

And include a reference list at the end of your document.
