What role does technology play in everyday writing and composing? 

Technology continues to grow each and everyday, as using it to write becomes more common and using the usual pen and paper becomes more rare. Technology allows for an easy, uneducated way of staying connected with people. More and more people that are of older age, who grew up without technology, are becoming more aware of how to use things like email and online websites to stay connected with family and friends. Technology is not only used to communicate with people, but to also use as a search engine to find forms of everyday writing that give answers and information to almost anything a person can think of. Other forms of writing and composing, like newspapers, are being transformed onto technological websites, saving people the money of paying for the paper version. Technology plays the role of making all of these things more simply and things like IPads and smart phones, people can bring the internet with them in their pocket and share anything with anyone at just the tip of their fingers, something that can’t be done with print writing. As technology begins to grow, everyday writing will see itself shift completely from pen and paper to computers and other devices.
