Johanna Drucker’s article “From A to Screen” opens your eyes to the historical and conceptual nature of how letters appear upon your computer screen. when we type, we never take into consideration that a simple letter as “A” can take on a different or new meaning based on the size and font. it is common for students in college to use a times new roman font for our work. it is seen as formal and legible but what if in another country times new roman is shunned and look down upon. with many things we are used too, we fail to recognize the history or power of words and font.  although speech is universal, language is widely different. our alphabet and how we use it, may seem peculiar to people from other countries. just how their language may be different from ours. i had a vague understanding of the power of letters. slowly im beginning to see how the look, sound, and presentation of a letter can be considered a aesthetic representation of a country or culture.
