Manual Scripts<\/a> by David Loti<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nearly everything I write is in cursive. It’s quick and easy, and is a representation of my personality. I’m connected to others that write in cursive, even if we’re completely different. It’s like an invisible bond between people refusing to let go of a dying representation of language. I wanted to link to David Loti’s post because he too, uses cursive when writing by hand and views it as a window into personality. “However, this efficiency represented in mechanized writing\u2019s standardization is at the cost of handwriting\u2019s inherent revelations of the writer\u2019s personality. Even if a reader\u2019s handwriting psychoanalysis ability is more anecdotal than scientific, handwriting offers a reader glimpses into the author\u2019s personality.” (Loti, 2019). It doesn’t matter that David uses pen and I use a pencil, or that he scratches out rather than erasing, we’re part of a network based on method.<\/p>\n

Further Connection to Method<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve been through each ETEC 540 personal site at least 20 times, and every time I land on a site \u00a0\"\"built in WordPress, I feel a connection. Regardless of theme, each platform creates a network of students who share something in common. Aesthetic, usability, past experiences, features, whatever it is, a connection is made the minute you press publish.<\/p>\n

In thinking about other text technologies, do two people make a connection based on the emoji they most commonly use or does preferred filter in Snapchat come into play? I wonder how my own sons will build networks based on their language expressions and text preferences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
