#9: Reflection

This past semester I have learned to keep track of my assignments better with this blog. I remember when I have one to do and I stay consistent with it. What I liked about having a blog this semester was that I had the choice to customize my site and make it special to me. My experience was great, getting to explore the site and read my other peers blog posts interested me. If I were to do a blog again, I would write about my daily life, the things that I do everyday, my hobbies, advice on lifestyle, and talk about the trips that I go on. I would make it connect with my life more. I would like to write about fashion, traveling, and food. I would design my theme to match my topics more. I think I would put more effort into my writings if I had a larger audience that views my posts. Knowing that it is not that easy to go big with these types of things, I would most likely not keep track of it as well as I did when taking the class. This class help me stay on tasks and stay up to date with the posts. I tend to get bored with things if I am not that into it. Sure, I like to write, but if I am only writing to myself I don’t see a point. I would probably never keep a blog again after this class ends. I cannot envision myself doing such things.

#8: How Technology Impacted Has Impacted How I Read and Write

Technology is definitely big in our society today. It has a big role in our lives everyday. Technology has definitely made me more lazy with writing. I have not wrote a letter to anyone in over ten years, the closest I have gotten to a formal letter is a birthday or thank you card. Now, we can just type our birthday and thank you messages in an email, instant message, text message, or on social media. Technology is very efficient and quick though, it helps us communicate with each other quickly instead of waiting a week to receive a letter. In the near future I believe that any form of writing will just be electronic. Technology has impacted me both positively and negatively, but I believe that there is a middle ground to many things like technology. I am so dependent on technology now that I do not think I can live without it. I barely read anything anymore if it does not come from my phone or an electronic device. I do not think that technology has made me forget how to write because in school we still have certain assignments where we have to hand write things. I hope that in the near future my children will still learn to read and write efficiently without the use of technology. Although it is a great tool to use and assist us in our lives, learning how to do things manually is important. Because what if your laptop or iPad breaks? Then how do you know how to write things out.
