Achebe - Things Fall Apart

The definition of a Cool medium is one that offers a smaller amount of information but gives the viewer a lot to do. I think the Achebe book is definitely a cool medium, especially in this circumstance. This book has little to do with Digital Technology and Culture, but there are ways that it can be compared. For instance the culture in this book is on the verge of change just like in the book by Ong, "Orality and Literacy." Change can take a big toll on the way a society functions. In Ong's book the introduction of literacy changed the way everyone thought, and the conversion to Christianity changed a lot in the society of the community in Achebe's book. When any big change occurs in a society there is going to be some resistance, and I think that is apparent in both books.
