Language as a tool for thinking.
In chapter 1 mercer discusses the history of language and its roles in society. I think this is a fabulous starting place for my introduction into CMC since i have no background in communication. By explaining what language is and what it allows us to do, "get things done", "pass on knowledge", ect. Mercer sets up a broad platform to move on from. I find the concepts he is beginning to set up fascinating as the applications for this kind of knowledge would be incredibly useful in any field.
