Technology and everyday writing

Technology is very important for everyday writing. Especially since social media has become so prominent in everyones life.  Social Media is incorporated into cell phones now that makes it so much easier to post statuses and other things to social media sites from just about anywhere. These posts to social media are great examples of everyday writing. Not only does technology make everyday writing easier and more accessible, it also makes it much easier to share with different communities of people (i.e your friends or followers).  Technology like computers and other devices connected to the Internet allow the writer to connect to different communities through websites and other such means.  Writers can post their material and easily gain exposure.

            Technology also makes the composition of writing much easier.   Word processing applications like Microsoft Word and Pages make writing as quick as someone can type.  The use of spell check and grammar checks allow people to check their writing and make their writing more conventional.  Also with the aid of the Internet, research can be done much more efficiently than going to a library and searching through shelves on shelves of books.  The Internet has the information you need all on one screen.  The only challenge is deciding if the source is credible or not. The Internet also supports collaboration. A writer can reach out to peers and give and receive ideas.
