I believe networks, writing, and
materiality all must be used in unison in order to construct a proper form of
communication. Without these three we would not be able to converse and send
messages as well as we do. For example, the material we write can easily change
depending on what network one is writing on. It could vastly change from a
letter to now days a Facebook post or Twitter tweet. Generally you can decipher
the materiality of ones writing depending what network they’re writing on. The
tone in a letter could be more serious while if writing a Facebook post you are
able to add emoticons to emphasize your emotions.
Furthermore, When
it comes to Writing and networks these are also very
important to one another. Without a network, there would be no group or people
to communicate with and without writing trying to communicate with a group
would be nearly impossible. The main type of networking discussed by Bazerman
in his letter “in its directness of communication between two parties within a
specific relationship in specific circumstances (all of which could be
commented on directly), seemed to provide a flexible medium out of which many
functions, relationships, and institutional practices might develop — making
new uses socially intelligible at the same time as allowing the form of the
communication to develop in new directions”. Through technology this form of
networking has grown into bigger things such as our current post office and
communicating through social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.
Without networks, writing, and materiality communication
would not be the same. They are essential and could not work with out one
another.
