The Epic of the Online Class

There is a common thread between all of the articles we read and that is that they are all different forms of writings. Two are earlier forms of writing and the other is based on the newest type of communication; email. The Epic of Gilgamesh is the oldest recorded written script. It was originally told over and over again and then written down in the third millennium B.C. One of the draw backs of this story is that in the translation some of the story was lost. The Code of Hammurabi is one of the oldest written set of rules that exist. It is the laws of the past where the Web Etiquette is the laws that we follow now while on the Internet. While the code was more a set of laws for the community, netiquette is more a set of manners for people to follow while writing to people in the dark so to say.
