WRITING MUST BE UNDERSTOOD AS TECHNOLOGY AND THEREFORE, AS ARTIFICIAL

According with Walter J. Ong writing must be understood as technology and threfore, as artificial. What one need to think about this statement is, first of all the meaning of technology, defined as "the application of practical and mechanical sciences to industry or commerce" and then, take into account the procces of writing which is developed through the begging of the childhood mainly, and this process works by using mechanical practices of putting first letters together to form words, then putting words together to form sentences and finally putting sentences in a text.

Thanks to all this process one can be capable of writing more complex texts with strict structures but all this is at the very beggining a mechanical process, that's why the writer becomes a kind of robot who has the whole process of writing as a complete system of codes that form a text.
