Abstract: | In this article I use Albert Borgmann’s (1984) four-part theory of technology to analyze various contributions to Computers and Composition—initially enthusiastic, sometimes fearful, and later aware of the complexities of technology and the need for anchoring discussions of technology in theory and pedagogy. By applying Borgmann’s theory, I show how readers of Computers and Composition can follow the 20-year development of technological awareness in the journal, and I also show possibilities for future directions the journal can take. |
