Sadly, my phone is an extension of myself.

Looking at writing ad visual communication through a different lens was very interesting. I loved the author’s questioning of the relationship and interchangeable nature between visuality and rationality. Often, questioning long established traditions (such as written language in this case,) can lead the reader far down into a rabbit hole. However I feel that the author clearly stated his beliefs and shared his ideas well. The author also leaves room for the reader to make a decision. When describing the world before writing, he paints a beautiful image that is also strikingly neutral:

“Until writing was invented, men lived in acoustic space: boundless, directionless, horizonless, in the dark of the mind, in the world of emotion, by primordial intuition, by terror. “

Another part that really resonated with me, was visuals and other forms of communication as an extension of oneself and seeing the “human environment as a work of art.” Also, the visuals were great and really helped get the point across.
