Hypergraphia 2.0: WELCOME!

Writting Electronically !

1) In the past I have had a few experiances with writting electronically. I have e-mailed my friends and family when they have gone on vacation or some place far away, I have left comments for people on myspace and Facebook, and I have also left people text messages. I have never twittered anybody and I probably never will. This generation of kids have become more experianced with computers and electronical writting then the past generations have, but that's a good thing. This gives us an oppertunity to share and teach the next generation what we have learned and share with them the same experiances we have had in the past.

2) When we write a letter on a piece of paper with a pen or pencil , we can write down whatever we feel and can change and change as much as we want. Now on a computer, yes we can make as many changes as we want but not as freely. When you type something in an e-mail and you go to send it to a friend , it has gone and was sent to your friend in a snap of a finger. Then you realize, wait, I forgot to sign it or I forgot to erase something I shouldn't have said, But you can't change it because now it is gone. If you wrote in a letter and you went to send it out when you close the envelope and then you realize you had to change something you can. It is easier to open an envelope and change it then to press the wrong button on the computer and not be able to change your response.In the end I believe that writing is a challenge and I believe that when you write electronically it does effect you writing in so many ways.

  1. Ah - this post is in the right place, Amanda.

    I commented on your other one, which showed up as a comment to my initial prompt.

    I encourage you to write comments, but your own responses should generally be their own posts - like this...
