"In the twenty-first century, it is necessary to think of rhetoric as the production and analysis of discourse--both spoken and written--and as the broad discourse of the comptuer that produces a mixture of images, sounds, and print in a rapidly developing new technology that has only begun to unfold. As the possibilities of communication continue to increase, our rhetorical concepts need also to expand. If our concepts begin to cramp our thinking and fail to fit around the expanding technology, time to then discard them like outdated clothes that no longer fit the growing child".
