Evolution of Technology

I think that as technology is increasingly democratized, the nature of writing, power and knowledge is rapidly and significantly changing. Look how far technology has come! If you're not up to date on the newest computers, programs, cell phones, ipods, etc., you better get on it because people will think you're weird. In today's society, it seems that everything is now done through technology. No longer do people write letters or hand write schoolwork. Everything is done online which within itself has even changed greatly. Now, anyone has access to editing a web page or creating one for the whole world to see. The power that the people have has increased and therefore, knowledge increases because it's so fast and easy to find information, however there is also more unreliable sources out there. The nature of writing has greatly changed because now it doesn't really matter if you have good handwriting or not, microsoft word will do it for you. Because technology is now so advanced, the value of libraries, books, letters, etc. has greatly decreased. The Web is taking over!
