Writing Proposal.

The readings I'm most interested in are Technology and Literacy: The Perils of Not Paying Attention, Writing is a technology that reconstructs thought and From Pencils to Pixels. They each made me look at different aspects of writing and changed my view in some way. Technology and Literacy made me realize why it so essential to pay attention to technology, I was one of those people who felt that books were good enough to use in the classroom and computers aren't essential in a writing class, unless you're typing published work. 

Writing is a Technology that Reconstructs Thought really gave me an inside look on what being able to write has done to our brains, and how powerful written language is. The piece just gave me a whole new way to think about writing which I really appreciate. 

From Pencils to Pixels was the first piece that allowed me to see writing as a technology, I didn't quite believe that writing was a technology no matter how many times professor Silva said it in class until I read that piece.

For the presentation I guess I would like to explain further the ideas one of these pieces explore. Maybe some video, or some illustration; a class discussion on what it means to the rest of the class.
