"Recent research work ... has deepened our understanding of what I have styled primary orality, the orality of cultures with no knowledge at all of writing, as contrasted with what I have styled secondary orality, the electronic orality of radio and television, which grows out of high-literacy cultures, depending for its invention and operation on the widespread cultivation of writing and reading. (Ong, "Writing Is a Technology that Restructures Thought" 317)"

"Writing is an intrusion, though an invaluable intrusion, into the early human lifeworld, much as computers are today.What is seldom if ever noticed, is that Plato's objections against writing are essentially the very same objections commonly urged today against computers by those who object them. Writing is simply a thing, something to be manipulated, something inhuman, artificial, a manufactured product. We recognize here the same complaint that is against computers: they are artificial contrivances, foreign to human life." (Ong. Writing Is a Technology that Restructures Thought. p,318-319)
