When I began to read the different articles on Technology, I became frustrated right from the start. I immediately went and got help from Dr. Horton and just from talking with him about my personal use of technology together we were able to think of a great topic for myself to write about. Once I started to write I felt it was much easier than last time when writing my Education Paper. During my last essay I felt that I tried so hard to stay close to the article and didn’t go out and expand very well on the topic. While for this technology paper I expanded from the article, and in result my paper goes into much further details and I am able to give more examples. My technology paper is much more specific than my education paper was and it makes it much more enjoyable to read.
While writing my paper this time I felt like I never ran out of ideas to talk about. This is because I kept the paper all about myself and based upon the personal experiences that I have had in my life resulting from technology. When writing my education paper I did not do well on this, I very rarely talked about myself because I just felt like it would not be right for me to write a whole essay about myself. I have finally learned from this technology paper that we are free to write about what we want, and that it is good to branch off from the original ideas and bring your own experiences into the paper. Realizing this now I feel that my papers from now on will continue to improve. As I continue to write throughout the semester I will now remember that I am free to write about what I want. Instead of trying to plan out exactly what I will say, for now on I plan to read these articles and then move on from there.
