Chapter 1, p 31, Korean Alphabet: “A similar moveable type system was developed in Korea in 1377 using brass characters and woodblock printing, but, Korean, like Chinese, is logographic.” The sentence should have reflected the invention of the Hangul alphabet in Korea by King Sejong the Great in 1443. The alphabet effect theory is central to a broader media effects theory advanced by Marshall McLuhan and others. It has been criticized for its ethnocentric perspective by scholars such as Joseph Needham and Paul Grosswiler (2004).”
