Technacy

Technacy primarily is about a new consciousness, an extended consciousness beyond oracy and literacy  that encompasses the problems posed by a new language  order ¾ electronic language. Consciousness of language (spoken and written) is taken here to be a description of the relations people believe to exist between language, the mind and the world. Most people go through the day without exercising their consciousness of language . To be aware of every word and its ramifications might be either sublime or petrifying. Yet consciousness of language is innately human. It shows itself most in the way we play with language ¾ puns, slang, rhyme and a host  of other verbal tricks. Similarly, consciousness of electronic language is taken to be a description of the relations people believe to exist between electronic language, the mind and the world.
