This section of my webpage is dedicated to defining and exploring key terms introduced in ETEC 540: Text Technologies—The Changing Spaces of Reading and Writing. The course engages with concepts that trace the historical, cultural, and technological shifts in how humans create, share, and interpret texts. By clarifying essential terminology, I aim to build a stronger foundation for understanding how writing systems, print, and digital media have transformed communication across time. Defining these terms supports my learning and provides a framework for critically analyzing the intersections of text, technology, and education.
