QFD&J

2. I see Baron accepting technology more, and realizing that new technology is a part of life and it will alter the nature of writing. He established how pencils are becoming obsolete due to computers, and how many new ideas are accepted in classrooms. Such as calculators weren’t accepted, spell check wasn’t allowed, and how computers have completely changed the classrooms. I do not agree that this was one of his messages, I actually believe the opposite.

4. Once highly popular literacy technologies could include many things like, horse drawn carriages, Walkman’s, ink quill pens, watermarks, invisible tagging devices, fax machines, answering machines, and even home telephones are almost out of date. The majority of these objects are electronically based, and in the age of technology they easily become out of date.

Applying and Exploring

3. Many recording devices like videos and text messages are beneficial because you’ll know the exact words and keep what they say for later dates. This could be very beneficial if someone threatens you and you have to prove what is said. The internet can also be viewed in the same way because whatever you say on there is there forever. This can be unbeneficial if you are the one threatening someone, which you shouldn’t do. Besides regretting what you have already said, there is not many unbeneficial factors.

Meta- Moment

I have always thought of writing as technology, because it all began with cavemen writing of walls. This helps me better my knowledge of writing as a technology. This doesn’t change my terms it just helps me better realize how far we have come as a civilization. I cannot wait to see how many advances have to come with technologies including cell phones and computers.
