Electronic Environments

Growing up in this generation of technology I am accustomed to the daily effect it has on my student life. Technology in regards to writing and expression is primarily in the groundwork of following the guidelines of the respected medium. There is etiquette a blossoming etiquette in electronic communications, e-mails and blogs, are a new medium that has not really taken a full set of rules yet. Technology will change the way I write and express. As a student I have learned that technology is a medium we cannot rely on totally yet. It can provide frustrations and misunderstandings. I put so much of myself into my work, that relying on technology to preserve and keep it unchanged is a risky thing to do. Which is why its good to have a back up plan, for the reality is technology can falter. It is most important to begin to form ethics for technology, in time the human wont be able to blame the machine for everything. The rules will adapt. I think technology as a whole makes it easier for me to be a writer. I can view old work, analyze past thoughts, and take in the full perspective of what is going on.
