Distributor:

James O'Donnell

Language:

English

Brief Annotation:

Mass usage of the Internet is in its second decade, and Professor O'Donnell's Avatars of the Word, a study of the place of media in cultural history, is just ten years old. What have we learned, what haven't we learned, and especially: what sense do we make of the scale and speed of change for our most traditional ways of building and preserving culture?
