Ong's summary: "When a culture moves from oral communication, to writing, then to print, and then to electronic communication, it does not merely improve its ways of dispersing or spreading information but also alters its thought processes. This is true of all cultures. Western European culture has moved through these stages slowly, with consequences which Professor Ong has been studying and writing about for two decades and which this lecture treats. African cultures have entered into these stages at different paces, with present consequences which it is hoped the audience will wish to discuss." 1974 2006 text/PDF lincoln01_en SLU_Ong_Lincoln 64 2 1 1 239 Permission to copy or publish must be obtained from the Saint Louis University, Pius XII Memorial Library, Special Collections Department Saint Louis University Libraries Digitization Center text eng Saint Louis University Libraries Special Collections http://cdm17321.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/ref/collection/ong/id/821
