Paper Summary:

This paper explores the relationship between an image of a technology and a quote about the type of technology shown in the image. The writer notes that the image and the quote are from different sources, and the paper examines what each is trying to portray. The paper examines what the image and the text are conveying on their own, and whether there is something that an image can project that text cannot, and vice-versa. Finally, this essay examines what the image and the text would say if placed together.

From the Paper:

"The image chosen for this assignment can be found at website textually.com which is a forum about texting and SMS. It is in the archives forum of cell phone etiquette. The image shows a young man dressed in a business suit talking on a cell phone, while he is surrounded by a cell-booth, or what can be described as being a mini-version of a phone booth. The image is intriguing and perhaps fun. It draws the viewer in, because there is no clear explanation given by just looking at the picture. The image is not an advertising image. It is ambiguous and seems to require some sort of text or quote for a more precise interpretation. "
