Scholarly Article #5

I really enjoyed this article because it directly related to the assignment we just finished. The Web Text research project was a gleaming example of how to encompass the principles covered in the article. In essence, the article claims that with a growing technological arsenal, more attention but be paid to the different forms of communication and how they are effected on each interface. Furthermore, adapting to and eventually mastering these formats will result in a longstanding growth and success. Specifically, the article discusses the rhetorical heuristics of writing on the web, and how each interface is a vehicle for rhetorical writing. I thought it was fascinating to hear about multimodality, and how many different interfaces and modes there are available to us in this modern age. I am thankful for articles like these, that provide insight into a region of writing and rhetoric that is mostly uncharted.
