2. I frequently use texting, email, Twitter, and other social media devices such as Facebook and Instagram. I use these devices in order to help me stay connected with friends and family back home. Most of these are done for pleasure but they can also be done for work. For example I can email my TA in my soils class to help we write my essay that is due in a couple weeks. I've also been able use Twitter as a resource to help me connect with my teacher in an educational environment in which I respond to a daily question that is posted. However I also use research paper, academic papers and lecture notes. These are strictly for educational purposes and no pleasure whatsoever. I have done these for proximately five years now and they have become much easier to write. I could say that the importance of each writing style could be determined by the situation. In a relaxed and pleasurable environment I would state that texting would probably be the most important resource that I use. And an educational environment I would say that lecture notes would be the most important resource. This is because they help me take down and note all the information that was given to me that is obviously important enough to go over in class.


Meta Moment: I concept of writing has not changed because of this article. Is simply reinforce my belief of what writing is. It has however help me explain my writing styles, such as I am an avid Twitter user and also I will find myself frequently writing academic. Without a device such as Twitter I know for a fact that I would not be able to keep up to date with everything going on the back in Iowa. This goes as far as my friends and what they are up to and also the scores of football and volleyball games. I also use Twitter to help me keep me up-to-date with the national news such as the Ebola outbreak down in Texas. I can also use Twitter to help me keep me up-to-date with other school news such as delays and warnings such as physical abuse in South Hedges. Without these devices the news that I want to know and need to know would not be as accessible to me as they are now
