This project asks you to reflect on your experiences with technology. This will be a page on your blog in which write about a technology that has affected your skills, abilities, and/or experiences as a writer and/or as a reader. This is not a research paper. This is an autobiography—a piece in which you tell a story about yourself as a writer and/or as a reader, specifically a story about how technology has changed your approaches to writing or to reading. You might choose to discuss one specific technology in a past, present and future kind of way or you could discuss multiple technologies. The structure of your narrative is up to you. You should focus on your experience in the context of reading and writing, however. And since your writing this hypertextually you can include links, pictures, and other media.

getting started:
You might consider questions like:
• What were your earliest experiences with a writing technology? With a digital writing technology?
What do you remember about them? How did you use them? What did you write/create?
• How has your writing changed with or in relationship to digital writing technologies?
• What does your current digital writing environment look like? The physical environment—computer,
desk, surrounding area; the virtual environment—the desktop, screens, and interfaces you write
within? How does this environment reflect your digital writing practices?
• What digital tools do you currently use to write, compose, and/or create? What sorts of “texts” do you
produce? How are the texts you produce different because they were created digitally?
• What would your writing be like if you did not have access to digital writing tools?
