Joshua Clarke said this about his banner: ” I decided to go with a theme showing how writing online is the latest development in the history of the written word. The invention of writing was the beginning of true history, and the printing press changed the course of history in so many ways. Finally, the invention of the Internet is bringing more revolutionary changes. The image of the printing press (a woodcut from 1568) I got from wikipedia.org. All the other images are from photographs I have taken in the past during my travels. The hieroglyphics are from the Yale University Art Gallery and the cuneiform tablet is from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.”
