Electronic Writing

I would say that I have quite a large amount of experience writing electronically, both for school purposes and personal. I do not personally blog but I do participate in many forums, for advice and the like. I also have a twitter, but don’t really use it due to my lack of a smart phone. I do have a facebook , but I’m not really sure f that counts as writing so much as networking. I do have an email, (obviously) but I don’t really use it all that much for writing, mostly just for work and school things. I would have to say that writing does change when using a computer as opposed to a pen and paper. I think that it allows me to write more subjectively and allows me to write more. I would also have to say that writing in any form on the internet is probably different than writing in actual public places due the anonymity granted. I feel like people actually express their real feeling online better than they can through less anonymous writings. I feel like it makes you more honest, and often times harsher in what you are writing. Also, when writing online in a place where your name is out there people tend to write in a manner that positively portrays them as a person. I think this is especially apparent with websites such as facebook where peoples writing will be seen by others and then will also be judged and commented upon.
