Technology

I do agree with Jenkins that technology is changing the way people are writing and using power. More pieces of writing are focusing on being very informal, some attempt to capture real life and real emotions for greater personal understanding. I do also agree that knowledge is changing. There is certainly an increase in the interest in media programs in college, which does tend to cause students to be more academically involved in the social field of media and less involved in the archaic ways of learning by working side-by-side with professors and working with others. Those involved in media do have to have communication skills, but they tend to be less formal. I do think, however, that with an increase in media, we, as a society, are benefitted because we are more aware of what is going on in the world and we are able to access more forms of research sources due to advancements in technology.
