Smart Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 total cold-shoulder to visual mediums most likely to be preserved and passed on using our current technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardyHarHar Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 well, let's just pretend for a minute that books and newspapers won't go the way of the horse and buggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smart Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 of course they won't but they simply aren't going to be the way future generations study 'the world as we know it'... I say this knowing how much we've learned from Civil War photos AND, more importantly, what the world has learned about cultures that flourished before the invention of moveable type. Think Illuminaterd Manuscripts, the archetypical settings and rhythms of Rennaisance art, cave paintings, the 'naieve' schools of art that come out of Carribean culture. If you only look at the printed word then you only listen to the people who can read and choose to express themselves using words. Even today that would be excluding a HUGE percentage of global society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
