Writing as a Technology

As I was reading the technology readings for the week, I thought it may be relevant to note on our blog the extensive research and reasoning behind writing as a technology in and of itself. As we think about computers and blogs as technology that some writers (and teachers) may be wary of, we should also keep in mind that many (including Socrates) were wary of writing itself. When we think of writing as a technology, this can help guide our discussion about how blogging complements this. I know there is much more that could be said on writing as a technology, but I just wanted to mention it as a potential avenue that we may want to discuss in our paper.
