MOBILE WRITiNG, April 14: Pauline Parikh and Victoria Mangam

I thought this presentation by Pauline and Victoria about mobile writing was very interesting. We had a lot of good class discussion about how cell phones are an extension of ourselves. Because of mobile writing we are able to communicate faster and this allows information to constantly be up to date. When the topic of cell phones is brought to the table, the class always has something to say about it. The topic of cell phones is always an interesting one that brings a lot of good intellectual ideas of where our society is going. This presentation was well put together and had a lot of good information that really got the class going in discussion. It was enjoyable to listen to the presentation and information that was presented, as well as the interesting class discussion that ensued.

I do remember we had a very good discussion about spimes and they introduced me to the wonderful website called mykidissafe.org. We had a lot of fun talking about how parents are overprotective and how it is absolutely crazy that there are ways of being constantly updated on your kids' whereabouts and even text messages. I very much enjoyed the fact that I learned a lot about spimes and other sorts of new technologies in this field. I believe that in our class discussion we might have digressed quite a bit and maybe that was a good thing because we did talk a lot which equals an A for the presentation.
