I write electronically using email, face book, text messaging, I also have a twitter account that I use on occasion. I use my phone the most, I like to text message along with using face book. I don’t have instant messaging and I do not blog consistently. Because of this class I am going to be blogging every week
which will be interesting.
Yes, I do believe that writing changes depending on what type of medium you use. When I am writing electronically using Microsoft word I tend to write faster, and I am very thankful for spell check. I like to get as much as I can out and then go back and revise what I have already wrote. When I am writing with a pen and paper, I tend to think more about what I am going to say, because there is no spell check or help with grammatical errors. I definitely take my time more and sometimes I won’t say or use certainthings in my writing if I am unsure that it is correct. Overall I like to use an electronic medium when writing, such as Microsoft word, I believe it helps me to be a better writer.
It's difficult to argue that tools like MS WORD help us to write better. I can't imagine editing a long document without the ability to cut-and-paste...
ReplyDeleteYour reliance on spell check also points to how dependent on these technologies our writing processes have become!
