Synopsis:
The move from books to hand-held digital readers, such as Amazon’s Kindle, is not just a movement from a printed page to an electronic page. It is a radical change in the way that we think, our epistemology. Benjamin J. Cline, PhD examines this rise of the e-book phenomena and explains the rhetorical and social exigences that brought it about. He considers changes that have taken place in mediated communication in the past and describes the changes in thinking that came from them in order to explain the changes in thinking that will take place with hand-held digital readers. Finally, Dr. Cline explains exactly how those changes are likely to impact our thinking and how we can adapt to a world where thinking is developed through e-books.
About the Author: Benjamin J. Cline received his PhD from Bowling Green States University in 2005. Since that time his work has appeared in books, articles, and conference papers. He has held several academic appointments and is currently teaching communication at Western New Mexico University in Silver City, NM where he lives with his wife and daughter.
