Designed as a passage from the more familiar rhetoric of the page to the less familiar one of the screen, this text is a hybrid workbook-reader-theory with chapters divided into the following sub-genres: Studio, Remakes, Lectures, The Ulmer File, and Office. These sections offer a sequence of interconnected Web writing assignments, rhetorical meditations, scholarly discussions, case studies, and pedagogical metacommentary, which together combine to form a truly unique contribution to the body of rhetorical theory and practice in the age of the digital text. Ulmer uses the invention of literacy by the Ancient Greeks as a model for the invention of "electracy" (which is to digital media what literacy is to print). Internet Invention brings the students into the process of invention, in every sense of the word.The book takes students through a series of Web assignments and exercises designed to organize their creative imagination, using a virtual consulting agency -- "The EmerAgency" -- as a vehicle for students to discover the potential for the Web to act as a setting for community problem solving. 678709 1 12 2002 Internet Invention: From Literacy to Electracy total:4|4:2|3:1|2:1| 4 13 9 0 0 0 false false Tue Dec 01 21:49:56 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 24 15:07:04 -0800 2009 Tue Dec 01 21:49:56 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jan 05 09:23:47 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 05 09:23:49 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Wed Oct 08 20:13:02 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 08 20:13:02 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sun Aug 10 13:25:41 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 10 13:25:41 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Jun 19 20:25:19 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 19 20:25:19 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sun Mar 30 19:22:06 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 24 16:46:33 -0700 2008 2 0 false false Thu Jan 10 14:21:54 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 10 14:21:54 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Tue Oct 16 21:32:59 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 16 21:32:59 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Wed Jun 20 19:28:40 -0700 2007 Wed Jun 20 19:28:46 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=692371
