The first claim we found to be interesting was the way the type writer changed Nietzsche's style. When almost paralyzing headaches challenged his sight and ability to focus on small writing, the technology appeared to save him. He was able to type with his eyes closed, using only the tips of his fingers. But the technology soon began to shape his writing, or so his close friend told him " Perhaps you will through this instrument even take to a new idiom" This is both interesting and convincing of the authors point because it shows the way technology shaped Neitzsche writing style, the way technology is supposedly shaping how we seek and understand information. The second claim we found interesting and convincing was how the mechanical clock " disassociated time from human events and helped create the belief in an independent world of mathematically measurable sequences." This is another example of how technology changed the way people perceived information and changed their way of thinking.
