Technology has impacted my writing in the fact that much of my proof reading can be taken care of at the same time as my writing. I still have to go back and make sure that the proper words, sentence structure, and organization are correct, but the process is speed up drastically by no longer needing to painstakingly search for spelling errors.
That is true, errors within pieces require little effort to fix while certain papers would have to be completely re-written by hand now we just hit backspace.
This is true, this helps the writer focus more on the subject that they are writing about, instead of spelling errors. This will cause more organized and evolved ideas.
Technology has shifted our writing most recently from pen and paper to documents on computers. Along with that many resources are now literally at the writers finger tips, without leaving the computer they can access almost any piece of information and find the definition or synonyms of any word in seconds.

I agree. I remember when I used to write out all my home work. Now I'm making googledocs for almost every assignment because it's easier. I think that with so many resources available to us in seconds, technology can be helpful but negative. I love having spell check, but it never helps me remember the right spelling of words. That is one flaw at technology; it corrects but doesn't teach.
Technology has had a huge impact on our writing. The first impact it has had is the fact that with the internet and social media, we have the ability to learn about things practically as they happen, all around the world. This is giving writers more topics to involve in their writing. Technology has also had an impact on our writing today because with blogs, twitter, and Facebook, people are writing constantly. They write about their day, about their weekend, and about their feelings. Now that writing can take place in ways other than just a pen and paper, people everywhere are writing, and the practice of writing is becoming stronger than ever. CSeely
I agree, the addition of technology has vastly expanded the options on writing topics that a writer has. However I think that sometimes this vast sea of options can be overwhelming for some people.
I agree with your statement Seely. I especially agree with the fact that everybody is practically learning about things as they happen. This brings many new perspectives on the subjects.
Technology has impacted our writing in more of a negative way. In the videos, when talking about Twitter, there is a limit on how many characters you can tweet. Twitter forces people to use abbreviations or odd phrases. Instead of reading newspapers and expanding vocabulary, kids growing up in this technology full world are absorbing these abbreviations. Any reader can see how this grammar rule free technology is impacting the world. Often I find typos in online New Articles. Instead of a journalist writing an article, submitting it to an editor for corrections, and being published. Now they can publish it directly, relying on themselves to edit properly. As writers we shouldn't rely on only ourselves to improve our writing!
That last part about how editors should be used still is an interesting point. I know what you mean because I find mistakes constantly when I read articles, blog posts, etc. online. I think that in the sense of writing grammar wise, technology is definitely a negative thing.
Technology has made writing more informal then it was before technology. People now use slang in their writing in stead of saying the proper words. Technology has also impacted how we write, for an example now we use emails and texts. Letters used to be the main source of writing. Also people can get back to each other faster than they could have when they used to write letters.
I agree with this. It is hard to imagine that someone would ever use improper grammar while writing a letter. However, millions of people do it every day over facebook. It is important that we do not get caught up in this slang, and remember to maintain proper grammar even while on the internet.
How has technology impacted our writing today? Technology has made a huge impact on our writing today. Everybody in the world has access to technology. This makes it much easier to write online. We now have spell checks,online dictionaries, and many other sources. We can see what other people are writing in the matter of seconds. The internet is now the fastest way of communication. Therefore you can send your writing to anyone you want, and they will receive it in the matter of seconds. This helps us be able to know what people in a different part of the world are thinking and writing about. Even though technology has had an immense impact on writing for the greater good, there are also some flaws. Flaws such as somebody reading what you do not want them to read. It has brought slang to a whole new level. Overall technology has greatly impacted our writing immensely. CSi
Technology has had the largest impact on our society more than anything else, and this includes our society's writing. For example, technology has changed our style of writing. This is most evident when communicating via instant messaging or texting. The use of slang terms and abbreviations has increased as we have changed our means of communication and have gotten lazier with our writing. Also, as the use of technology increases, the selling of newspapers and magazines will continue to steadily decrease. This effects writing because writers will have to become accustom to this new way of spreading thoughts and ideas to society. Before technology became so large, people could spread their thoughts and ideas through newspapers and billboard writings. Now, the most efficient way to do so is to publish works online through a social media website EL

Personally, technology provides a huge distraction for myself when I'm doing school work; particularly when I'm writing on my computer. Without technology I feel as if I would be able to focus more on my writing, instead of quickly losing my thought and attention by technology. Also, technology allows us to take the easy way out on a lot of aspects of writing, not that I'm complaining, but most programs spell check our writing for us and also we have online dictionaries and thesaurus' readily available. We have lost the traditional way of communicating by writing a letter. Most of us only write when we are forced to for school, rather than writing as an activity.
I agree, I feel that any schoolwork I do on the computer takes much longer to complete than any other work. The reason for this is because of all the distractions the internet can bring. In addition, spell check is useful, however it makes us lazy, and incomplete as writers.
Technology has impacted our writing more than anything since paper and pencils were invented. With technology, we can type instead or write, and not just on a computer but on cell phones and I pads as well. What we type can be accessible anywhere with google docs, and email we can find what we wrote by connecting to the internet anywhere and on any device. Another part of technology that has greatly affected our writing is social media. We can instantly connect with our friends, celebrities and other groups of people through Facebook, Twitter, blogs, and several other social media sites. Technology has also affected what language we use. On Twitter you are given 140 character limit on what you can put in a tweet. With this limit most people shorten words by using abbreviations that they would not use if they were hand writing what they are tweeting. Technology has and will continue to affect our writing greatly.
Technology has greatly impacted our society. It has changed the way that our styles of reading and writing used to be. For example, we used to read the newspaper and write by hand which now are both decreasing. Newspapers have decreased 18% and the use of computers has increased about 9%. This is because technology has become so powerful that there is no need to buy an actual paper when you can access online. Writing has changed considerably as well, we no longer write by hand and most of our writing is now typing. Technology has made it easy for people to express their thoughts in a quicker and easier way than before. It effects our writing because we can type, and typing is faster and you are more likely to know where your work is. Reading and writing by hand are both now a thing of the past and technology is now a dominant part of our society.
I think our style of writing has changed greatly through the use of technology. Instead of handwriting each sentence, we can type it in half the time. It also removes the need for a dictionary, as one is always available online. Knowledge of spelling is also eliminated through the use of spellcheck. Technology also makes the editing process much easier. Whole paragraphs can be moved around throughout the paper much more quickly and easily than may be done on paper. Handwriting is becoming a thing of the past. I only do so when necessary, as using a computer is much easier.
