The instruction of writing at any level also calls for easy access to and comfort with a wide range of fields of study and therefore a good deal of innovative interdisciplinary work and cross-cultural study inside an English department usually arises from the composition, technical/professional communication, and writing across the curriculum programs (Landow & Delany).

It is inside these kind of programs where many of us have begun to refine our discussions with students about technologically-enabled transmission of narrative ghosts and energized electronic semiotic exchanges from culture to culture, usually organized under the rubric of studying information architectures, human-computer interface design and the rhetorical aspects of online communication.
