Journal #10

Everyday writing, similar to our current modern technologies has evolved over time. As technology has grown and advanced to the point where we basically carry around personal notebooks on our phones through apps, or through tablets everyday writing has evolved as well. I feel technology has given everyday writing as more "normal" feel. What I mean when I say this is, we use writing so much in technology now its so natural and we never stop to think about what we are really doing. Through technology writing can be presented in many new ways, social media,blogs, and personal websites that can define our new sense of everyday. As one of my classmates said there is now this "feedback loop" where our writing can be seen and commented on by any who we wish to share it with.

I believe as long as technology continues to evolve, with things such as smartwatches, Google Glass, Smart TV's and the like, writing will become even more commonplace than it currently is. Technology and writing will both evolve to a point where writing is considered completely "in sync" with everyone everyday lives. This "sync" will provide a whole new wave of everyday genre, and it maybe will evolve as well. Everyday writing, much like technology, applies to the individual so as long as our technological needs and uses increase I see writing doing the same in direct relation due to the ease of access.
