ARTICLE REVIEW

Today in class we went over four articles dealing with texting and technology. In the articles some agreed that technology helps a writer improve his or her writing skills. In the other case it said that technology and texting affected a writer's writing skill. Which one do you believe? Well it's a big debate over the two and we all have are different view points. Me personally, I believe technology and texting help sharp out writer's skills, because you are using your grammar and spelling but not only that you are also socializing on a daily bases. Whether it's from texting, IM messaging, myspace, facebook, and other social technology usage you are writing. Of course you may write differently when you are socializing with friends, we all talk differently we have are slang words, words me make up but our friends know. In the articles it said that university's are handing out iphone's this to me is a good step in education, technology was made to better or life make things fast to do. The iphone, with so many programs on it you can almost use anything or find anything on it, for the instructors to send email through the iphone and also class assignments that's technology at its best. One of the other articles mentioned a program that sent you a green, yellow, or red light depending on where your grade stood. It also sent a message on what you should do in certain classes to better your grade. Again to me this is technology at it's best, day after day we discover more about the usage of technology I say use, if it's going to better a situation make it easier on you then use it. I don't believe texting and technology affects a writers skill it's all you, your mentality is the key. In the article a professor stated that she thinks we are on the verge to a new writing era. A big break through in writing is at hand she say's its because of how so many young people do so much writing then before. This is a debate that can go on but I believe technology over all helps students.
