1. How has technology impacted your writing/composing?
- The use of technology has impacted my writing greatly. The Internet not only helps me get creative ideas when writing, but it also makes things I have to look up much more convenient. For example, if I was not sure how to write a paper in APA style, all I have to do is type “APA” in the search box on Google. Also, if I need a question answered and I do not have access to my computer, I have the internet directly on my phone. Technology has been such a gift to society. It has expanded my abilities as a writer and gave me ideas about various genres.
2.How has technology connected or made you more mindful of your writing and place?
- Technology has made me more aware of both my writing and place. I noticed that my writing changes through technology depending on what social network I am on and who I am speaking to, whether it is through a text, e-mail, or tweet. Technology has connected me more to my place. For instance, when I am sitting in my room, at my desk with my computer, it is the place where I can be alone and get the most work done for school.
My room is a place that allows me to think critically with no interruptions.
3.How has technology impacted your identity construction?
-Technology significantly impacts my identity construction. I noticed when I am in class and paying attention, I do not talk as much. Its not that I am shy or afraid to speak up, but it usually means that I am paying attention to the professor or whomever may be speaking at the moment. I enjoy hearing various opinions from my fellow students, but I have noticed that when I am in front of a technology, I react differently. For instance, when I work on my weebly website or tweet, I say whatever comes to mind (as long as it’s appropriate and does not go too much in-depth with my personal life). In my opinion, working with a technology is much more laid back. It is a way to express my thoughts and feelings on certain topics without trying to act professionally. With technology, I am able to take my time and really concentrate on what I am writing or reading. I never realized how much technology makes a difference in my personality. I realized that constantly updating my tweets is a way to express myself in a way that I wouldn’t usually do in a physical setting. I think I am an outgoing person and always act like myself (depending on situations), but I have to admit that my identity changes dramatically when technology. Whether it is a computer or simply a phone, I believe I am more relaxed.
