Journal 7

In Gladwells "Social Life of Paper, he is defending the use of paper over technology for most of the article. The relationship between paper and digital text  is viewed differently among people. The author clearly favors the use of paper due to it's ability to be physically moved around and changed. Gladwells points out multiple times how it's beneficial to use paper in a group setting as you are able to write notes and make changes to yours, and others work.  I think everyone can agree one medium will never replace the other. Both are extremely beneficial in certain situations. As much as it would be much more organized just to use computers , I don't think a world like that is possible. Pieces of paper are always readily available for little notes or reminders. I don't think this changes anything in terms of everyday writing, whether you write on a piece of paper or type it on a computer it could still be everyday writing. The content of what is being written determines if it fits in our definition of everyday writing, not where it is written.
