Change due to Technology

I agree that the nature of power, writing, and knowledge is changing as technology is increasingly democratized. This is because with the ability to do more with technology, we are able to do things differently. For example, you can look at writing in schools. In the past, it was only acceptable to hand write all of the papers that you turned in to the classes. It was required to have neat handwriting to get your papers graded. But since technology such as computers have become normal in our lives, we are not required to hand write many of the things we had to in the past. This has changed the nature of writing. It does not stop there, the same applies to offices as well. With the ability to do more, things change. This is very prevalent in today's society as technology is changing so rapidly. The change in power can be seen in the ability to write whatever you want online. You are not required to go through all of the steps that you needed to do in the past to make your data available to others. The power is therefore in everyones hand, as they are controling what they are writing or doing online themselves. This power allows us to find more information (knowledge) more easily, but it also makes it easier to find inaccurate information as well.
