Collaborative converstions between students and chatGPT about Orality

Is social media more oral than written? I don't think so

edit
In our collaborative conversation, ChatGPT suggested that social media exhibits

some characteristics of orality due to its real-time nature and conversational style. Social media platforms often facilitate quick exchanges of information, similar to face-to-face conversations in oral cultures. However, social media is primarily a written medium, as the information is typically conveyed through text, images, and videos, rather than solely through spoken words. Therefore, while it may embrace some oral-like features, it remains essentially a written form of communication.

I'm not sure I agree with this. I think social media is much more oral than written. It may be circumstantial: perhaps some type of social media, that is immediate, is oral. And others that are more delayed are written? I guess we will see. (edited at 11:36am)

20 July 2023: Hello, world!

Hi. This is my first journal entry in my Wikiversity journal, where I will chronicle my work in this class, and post my critical reflections. So far today, I've created my user account, joined the class and looked at the dashboard, and figured out how to create a journal page in Wikiversity. I would like to figure out a way to put the date in the header, and make this a blog post kind of page.

What is orality?

edit

Orality is thought and verbal expression in societies where the technologies of literacy (especially writing and print) are unfamiliar to most of the population. The study of orality is closely allied to the study of oral tradition. The term "orality" has been used in a variety of ways, often to describe, in a generalised fashion, the structures of consciousness found in cultures that do not employ, or employ minimally, the technologies of writing.[1]

  • Create a section in student journal with a name that matches the conversation. For example, if you are commenting on Orality on September 10, 2023, create two new paragraphs in your journal page: one styled as Heading 2 with the date, and one styled Heading 3 with the word matching the title of the conversation page, in this case, Orality. You can also copy/paste the code below in the code box, and use edit source instead of edit.
