What is writing

The coolest thing I have made was a clock. This was in middle school in my woods class. I took this as an elective just for fun. I thought this was pretty cool because I am not the most creative person, but this was something I thought was pretty creative. It still works and I gave it to my dad and he liked it. The most interesting thing I have made was this scooper thing. My friend and I were really bored so we took a flashlight, a broom, and a dust pan and we duct taped them together to make it a cleaning thing she could use in the dark. I don't think she ever used it but it was pretty interesting.

I feel this is partially writing. For my clock, I designed it with pictures and designs that I liked and that represented me. Because of these designs and pictures, it is a form of writing because it expresses who I am in a visible aspect and not in words. The cleaning thing my friend and I made wasn't really writing in my mind. I don't think it communicated or did anything to express something that was intended. It had no meaning and no specific point that we were trying to be made.

I would define writing as anything that has an intended audience with an intended message that is trying to be showed. Writing can be verbal or non verbal.

reflection on paper

Writing this paper was a good experience for me. It made me open my eyes and to critically think about the ways the technology around me are affecting my life. It helped me focus on the significance experiences I have had with different forms of technologies and how those experiences affected my life as a whole. It was pretty tough writing this paper. Having one topic and going into so much detail and trying to remember all of the experiences with technology that I have had was hard.
I’m not sure if I did a good job with my introduction paragraph. My first intro paragraph was awful. Then I went back and revised it and tried to make it more catching and exciting. I tried to make it so the reader would want to keep on reading. I hope I was successful with that. Another part I struggled with was focusing. At first my paper did not have much focus. After revising it, I went back and pretty much started all over. The second time around I feel I did a much better job of focusing.
I hope to have gotten a good grade with this paper. I thought I did a good job going into detail with my experiences. I tried to go back and remember how I felt and to put it in my paper. I thought I did a good job reflecting on my experiences with technology and showing the significance it had with my life.

technology and gender

I have seen some experiences where relationship to technology was affected by gender. One of these experiences occurred when I was at my friend’s house. We were playing video games and my friend’s girl friends asked what we were doing. My friend told her how we were playing video games and everything. She laughed and started saying how all guys do is play video games. This made me think about that and how I feel just because of my gender I am associated with video games. Although I do play video games, it is certainly not all I do. I feel that often times someone may think just because you are a male, you automatically play video games. This is not always true. For one, I know some females that like to play video games. However, I have never had an experience where somebody associates females to video games. Also, the statement that all guys play video games and that’s all we do is untrue. I have some friends who do not play games at all and for the most part, video games are just something to keep people entertained.

i want to become a better writer

As of right now, I am not a very good writer. I feel that writing and being a good writer is an excellent skill to have. Not only for this class, but for other classes and real life situations. I feel that there are many things that help make up a good writer. Being able to express your ideas on paper is a big one. I feel that is one area where I struggle and want to become better in. I think I write best when writing about a topic I like and one that I am interested in. Another area in which I struggle is citations and using them. I understand the idea and the concept but I need to learn how to use them properly. I never have liked to write but maybe if I become a better writer I will enjoy it more. I think this class will help me become a better writer and I will also like writing more because of this class.

I use technology in my life everyday.

I use technology in my life every day. I watch tv everyday and that alone has an impact on my life. Television entertains me when I am bored. I also use my computer every day. Without it, I would not be able to do most of my homework. I also use it for communicating and socializing. Another form of technology is video games. When I am bored it is sometimes fun to play. Movies are another. I like to relax and be entertained.
I remember the first time my family bought a computer. I didn’t know how to do much because I was so young and had no experience with computers before that. I still tried to do stuff on it and play games. I was around video games when I was younger too. My cousin who I am really close to introduced me to video games. Whenever I went over to his house he would want to play a video game or show me some new music.
