Wysocki Discussion

1. Typefaces have changed through history and Wysocki gives the example of the blackletter fonts being used commonly until the Roman typefaces were used because they stand out and were meant to bring back a classical way of writing. Do you think the commonplace typefaces could go through another drastic change in the future? Under what circumstances?

2. Do you think that technology not only changes the way we write, but also what we write? If so, how?

3. Currently, people probably encounter engaging advertisements aimed at grabbing their attention on a daily basis. If these advertisements (with their color, and interesting fonts, etc.) are engaging, then would it be reasonable to bring the same techniques to academic writing?
