Journal Entry for First Week By: Matt Piechoski

I am not an avid reader/writer i dont think. I read the headline stories of the news paper, read magazines that intrest me, and whatever i read while surfing the net is pretty much the extent fo what i read. I never really get into the feel of reading a book, i get one or two chapters in and forget about the book, or lose interest fast. Im better at public speakin, im more confident talking in person rather then through phone, e-mail, or anyother means. Technologies allow us to stay incontact with anyone anywhere we go. We now have wifi computers who use satalites and can access online information anywhere. In combination with cell phones that now can write and send e-mails, u can access information anywhere. Technologie like these forse us to become better readers and writers, having to know the words being spelled or think ahead of what thepoint of the message is. Same as writting papers, it makes us plan, and write out what we want to say, and have to pick the best words to describe what we want to say. I tend to compose, edit and revise all at the computer.
