"My Writing Technologies"

Blog post 3: "My Writing Technologies"
The main purpose of the first writing project is to see the connections between "writing" and "technology" as both concepts and practices. Now, while the writing assignment asks you to "invent" a new writing technology and reflect on that process, this prompt asks you about the writing technologies you use all the time.
What are they? What sorts of writing tools do you routinely use for your own writing? How have your writing tools changed over the years? And what sort of writing tools do you avoid using?



On a daily basis I'd say that I use a variety of writing technologies. The most common of which are pens and pencils. I use these tools in class while taking notes, at work, for personal reminders and entertainment (i.e, doodling). Pens and Pencils are the cheapest of writing technologies, in my opinion, and less complex. I also use electronic resoursces. The electronic writing technology I use the most is on a computer. The computers I use all have writing applications, like Microsoft Word, Works, and Notepad.
