!st Post

Some of the different types of experiences that I have worked with would be twitter facebook, some of the gossip sites that I like to look on, my yahoo and when I text on my phone. I have been working with these for quite a while now. I think that everyone in the world is addicted to them. Social networking sites have practically become a part of my life and everyone else in the world.
I think that my writing changes drastically when I use an electronic medium because I feel like it’s much unformed. Usually when I am on these sites I am talking to a friend or relatives, and I really don’t care about the way I am writing or how I sound. But when I am writing to a professor or someone I don’t know then I will change it up. I do blame technology for my writing skills because sometimes I tend to write like how I feel at the moment when I’m on facebook or something else but when I have a paper due then I have to totally change up my writing and make it all proper and professional.
When I use a pen and paper to write my writing changes also because I am taking my time to look over things and make sure things are spelled correctly as opposed to facebook when I just write how I feel and post. I feel like it doesn’t really matter because people are going to understand what I am saying anyways because they probably write the same way I do to.

    Interesting - in this sense, technology is actually shaping how you/we write (and perhaps even how we think). This is a central argument in one of our readings this term...
