- Title
OUR COMPUTATIONAL CULTURE: FROM DESCARTES TO THE COMPUTER.
- Authors
BERG, R. DREYER
- Abstract
The article discusses the impact of the power of computer on the culture of people. Topics include the desire of humans for a faster method of calculating that eventually transformed in a computational culture, a discussion on the primary oral cultures where visual values are repressed by auditory arranged experiences, and how the phonetic alphabet was used during the Renaissance as a way of corresponding sounds to words. Also mentioned is J. David Bolter's synoptic "Turing's Man."
