In pencils to pixels, I believe
baron is right when he said technology has changed writing. I feel over the
years it has changed the way we communicate for sure, but possibly for the
better. An example that may justify this reason is that the pencil was not
intended to write, it was meant for measurements in math. Also as time went on
other technology came into play. The type writer was what started and now today
we have the computer and laptops.
Some writing techniques that I prefer
today is the computer/laptop. I would say this because the computer is such a
useful tool, that can help and teach us all well. Everything I possibly may
need can be right in front of me with a click of a button. I feel this tool is
so valuable and has such a powerful impact on us. I prefer this because while I am doing this assignment,
I can backspace, write, and rewrite making it just how I like.
However as a child the only way to
ever have an assignment done was by writing in pencil. I absolutely hated using
a pencil as a child, even to this day if you were to hand me a pencil I would probably
chose to not write anything then to use a pencil. I hate the way it feels when
you drag it along the page. I feel that was a reason why I struggled with writing
as a child. What I feel may have hurt my writing techniques was using a pencil and
a piece of paper. I feel by using them it would make the process and little
harder with the editing and time consuming. Writing techniques that helped me
was defiantly writing in pen. I always enjoyed that, I felt confident while writing
with a pen.
I feel pixel has many advantages. One
may be that it has spell check. Spell check is so important when turning in assignment,
no teacher wants to read an essay that is messed up in grammar and punctuation.
Also I feel that it may be quicker and easier. However, some disadvantages may
be that you may tend to lose your work due to computer problems. Some writing techniques
that may be disadvantage it may take way to long or even delete the work that
you already did or started. An advantage to writing techniques is it is very
reliable and simple.
I believe that the literacy of writing
has changed in some ways. With this being said, I feel it is not the writing that
changed but the way we go about it now. For example, instead of pen and paper
we have a computer and keyboard. The concept is still there. However it just
varies in the way it once was. I feel there is nothing wrong with this. I feel
that in this time an age technology will always be changing meaning we need to
expect it at one time or another, making it this time.
