This is an excellent example of the development of Transliteracy from the BEGINNING. We think of transliteracy as from the current books to what the future will hold, but transliteracy has been going on for YEARS to some extent. Watching this flash really made me think the of past and how writing in general has developed throughout the years. There have been so many developments that really "REVOLUTIONIZED" the process of creating and reading text throughout history. I'm sure at every point that a new way was introduced, civilization thought that it couldn't advance any further! This website has shown me where we've come in the last 2000 years, it will be amazing to see where we will be EVEN 20 YEARS from now.
We're not really changing HOW we read, we're just changing WHERE we read.
