The first typewriter was invented in 1867 by Christopher Latham Sholes.\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After providing some historical context (forerunners; the influence of Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail; the development of the technology in Europe and US; the monetizing and commodification of the textual practice), I will focus on the materiality of telegraphy. This includes explaining the key-and-tape system, the networking of wires, and the importance of the role of the telegraph operator. Throughout, I will structure the discussion around binaries. Specifically, I will discuss the following binaries as inherent in the textual practice of telegraphy: presence\/absence, encoding\/decoding, readership\/authorship, producer\/consumer and public\/private. \u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Finally, I\u2019ll briefly connect telegraphy to modern textual practices (namely, social media\/microblogging\/texting). The students will then practice with a Morse Code Key simulator to replicate the experience of a telegraph operator encoding text.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/texttech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6904\/2018\/02\/Stephanie-Hawthorne-Typewriters.pdf\">Stephanie Hawthorne Typewriters vis aid<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Becky on telegraphy.

It continues as a primary mode of communication, only to be eclipsed (eventually) by the telephone&#8211;once this technology becomes commonplace&#8211;in the twentieth century. The last telegraph sent in the US was sent by Western Union in 2006&#8211;the last known telegraph sent in the world was sent in 2013 in India. \u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Telegraphy draws on ancient and instinctive human behavior&#8211;the need to connect across distances and, effectively, to close the gap of time and space. As a text, telegraphy draws on the supposition that actors want\/need to communicate quickly, and it untethered communication from practices that were less reliable, slower, and almost solely visual.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2\/1\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Manuscript Text Technology Michael Camille &#8220;Sensations of the Page: Imaging Technologies and Medieval Illuminated Manuscripts&#8221;\u00a0 (33-54)\u00a0 from The Iconic Page in Manuscript, Print, and Digital Culture.
