In response to Jenkins' piece I do believe that the nature of writing, power and knowledge is changing. Just like Jenkins metions in his paper technology, specificly the internet, provides users with a number of experts on one topic, therefore users are not forced to listen to one expert they have a chocie. The power to choose who is right is put into the users hands; and the users also have the power to become that person whom others take advise from.
When someone is writing on the internet they do not have to worry about writing in a proper way, for fear of their paper being criticized are deemed non creditiable, because different user appericiate and appeal to different types of writing. Technology has moved us away from the writing we were taugh in english class. In adition to this, technology has made knowledge more accessable; you no longer have to be of a certain class to recieve a certain level of knowledge.
