My trouble with Oard's thesis is simply that there is no such thing as "the rise (again) of orality". What Oard is talking about is an additional way of storing signals, and of interfacing with information systems. Nice, but nothing to get overexcited about, and certainly not something with 'broad implications for many aspects of society', as he writes. This whole idea about a (re)turn to orality is wholly mistaken because orality has never been away from us. Thomas, sure — writing has had added advantages.

The advantage of writing was never just storage. Writing also made language easier to survey, more perspicuous (übersichtlich) as Wittgenstein would say. It has been argued that the study of logic would not have developed if not for writing. So the worry is that with the rise (again) of orality, a certain rigour in our thinking will again be lost.
