I have to admit when I first read the readings for this week I was a little confused about the author was really trying to say. I actually looked at other people’s posts to make sure I was grasping the general idea of what the author was trying to communicate to us.

What I got out of this text was that text has changed a lot. My parents often said, or rather my Mom, has said that since she grew up in a time that text game from books, or handwritten documents it is harder to adapt to the text of today. Now there is stuff such as hyperlinks, or tweets, or texts, as in text messages, instead of hand written notes or novels. Maybe one day there can be texts that float right in front of us, like they did in Harry Potter, I mean who knows what technology can come up with in the future? I bet back when the computer came out people were amazed at what we are able to create. Then came the internet, which allows all of us to share any type of text we create with the world. Then phones came out with text messaging, or what people now refer to simply as “Texts” Personally I think that all this technology can overwhelme someone. I see my mothers point. Back when she was a child all they had were typewriters. Now there are computers, laptops, iphones, i touchs, droids, and a million other devices that allow us to create any text we want. Personally I am surprised they havent started creating 3D texts for cell phones. I hope they do not do that because 3D has to be the worst kind of text every created. It gives me a headache to look at that type of text for too long.
