I agree that the nature of writing, power, and knowledge is changing as technology is increasingly democratized. It seems no matter what the major or field that you may specialize in you need knowledge of other fields to be successful. The more we have developed technology the more things have changed the way we do things whether within our classes or everyday life. For most teachers now students are expected to submit papers online and to also be checked by safe assign. In the past papers were checked for plagiarism by teachers or TAs actually going to the websites. As technology has developed the lines that were drawn between fields and subjects have slowly begun to fade because more information is readily available and more information coincides. The democratization of writing has led to everyone being able to contribute. As the internet and computers have become increasingly easier to use the more people have contributed. There are now hundreds of ways to get your word or opinion on the internet whether using a blog, Facebook, or Wikipedia. The internet has helped to break down the obstacles of circulating knowledge so that it is available to all.
