Technology and Writing

I think that with the new changes in technology the way that people have to present knowledge and writing has to change as well. This new generation that created web 2.0 is a group that seems to have a short attention span coming from an ability in life to get information almost immediately. I think that the way that things are presented to people have to change to garner the attention of their intended audience. Videos on youtube are a perfect example of gathering the attention of the audience they’re intending these videos for just by the titles. People of today’s world don’t want to get their information from a library when they can go right to the internet and get something from Wikipedia in a couple of seconds. With information on the web it makes it easier for people to get what they need without having to travel far, which is exactly what people are looking for.
