"Print culture is the conglomeration of effects on human society that is created by making printed forms of communication".
I chose this quote because I felt that it was a true representation of what this article was encompassing. I feel that when print culture is being talking about, many leave out the notion that it is important to know what effect it has on human society. I also chose this quote because it used a trigger word for that helped me to immediately understand print culture. Conglomeration was a word that I liked because I felt like it helped to explain the vastness of print culture and what kind of effect that it can have on human society. I wanted to have a more in depth look at print culture so I chose to look at this website. It gives a nice view of the history of print culture and the future. It also goes over the debate that surrounds print culture. The debate talks about what print culture should be defined as now.
"Numerous eras throughout history have been defined through the use of print culture. The American Revolution was a major historical conflict fought after print culture brought the rise of literacy. Furthermore, print culture's ability to shape and guide society was a critical component before, during, and after the Revolution".
The second quote I chose was the quote above. I chose this quote because this was what interested me the most about the article. I am a history major so anything that involves history, I tend to latch on to. I knew that print culture was important during major times in history, however, I never considered the role that it played during a time period as the American Revolution. After reading this quote, I found myself googling the topic and searching for the significance that it played. I immediately found myself taking notes on the topic because I felt like what I was learning was information that I wanted to use in my classroom. Anytime I read something that I can take back into my classroom it is rewarding. I looked at a scholary journal that gave accounts of what was being done during the time as far as print culture was concerned. It really gave me some great insight on the importance that it played. Before doing this assignment I wouldn't have thought to link the stamp act to print culture.
"Symbols, logos and printed images are forms of printed media that do not rely on text".
The third quote that I picked was this because I feel that too often this items are left out when it comes to print culture. I feel that these are important part of print culture and certainly communication in general. We, as a culture, have become so used to these thing that we forget about them. Seeing a stop sign is not something that I would associate with print culture, but it's important not to lose.
