“The computer, the latest development in writing technology,
promises, or threatens, to change literacy practices for better or worse,
depending on your point of view.’
-This statement shows how Dennis Baron has a
very strong interest in what technology has done to our writing since it’s
creation. He uses very dramatic language; he brings up a lot of questions in
this piece.
“I will be the first to praise computer to acknowledge the importance
of the computer over the last 15 years.”
-Baron
has a very positive reaction to the computer – it has helped him much during
his writing career. The way the computer put communication together like never before.
“As the old technologies become automatic and invisible, we
find ourselves more concerned with fighting or embracing what’s new.”
-I
really like this. I like the way that he brings up this point because there are
skeptics about our upcoming technologies. Some people don’t look at how
technology has bettered us, but fail to think it will continue to happen.
