Electracy

I would have defined electracy, before having read Sarah Arroyo, as the communication of human emotion and ideas through new electronic methods. Taking the concepts of “Orality” and “Literacy” and looking at the literal word “electracy” it was easy to make that connection. Electracy is the logical next step in communication when factoring the new elements of growing technology. As literacy was to print, electracy is to digital technology. And as digital technology grows and grows, so does electracy grows with it. It has become so intertwined with our society that it would be impossible to undo it. Electracy is just as deeply woven into out lives now because of this heavy and constant use of digital technology in this world.
