I feel technology has become an essential part of my life. This class being a huge example of how we are using technology today. I would never imagine that I would be taking a class that is mostly online. I think that it is amazing that I am engaging in conversations with people from this each. I write something and they can read it right here on the Internet.
The You Tube video is an example of how we are always reading things on the computer. We can access email, news, TV shows, videos, research, and the list goes on. I have a sister that lives in another country six hours ahead of me. I think it is truly amazing that I have a conversation via email everyday with her. Once a week we chat, face to face via a computer screen. She sends news articles regarding what is going on in the Netherlands and I send her new articles about what is going on in the states.
“Many graduates started their school career with the literacies of paper, pencil, and book technologies but will finish having encountered the literacies demanded by a wide variety of information and communication technologies (ICTs): Web logs (blogs), word processors, video editors, World Wide Web browsers, Web editors, e-mail, spreadsheets, presentation software, instant messaging, plug-ins for Web resources, listservs, bulletin boards, avatars, virtual worlds, and many others.”
I feel like I am that student that started off with pen and paper, then began taking typing lessons, and then started using a computer to type all of my papers for school. Today I couldn’t imagine sitting down and actually writing a paper instead of typing it. One major reason, I hate my handwriting.
