[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every generation writes this about the subsequence going back to ancient Greece. There's never any truth to it.[/quote] Sometimes there's truth to it. I was reading a book from the late 1800's and it was so boring. Three pages describing the scenery and two pages about the mental state of a side character. That book would never get published today. And maybe that's not a bad thing? [/quote] Being interested in that much detail was a hallmark of print culture, and print culture definitely had it's benefits. I guess you'd have to read "Orality and Literacy" (which I admit to not having read) to find out if there were drawbacks. TV/social media has returned our culture to an oral one, though admittedly one with a much bigger reach for speech than the ancients or medieval folks had.[/quote]
