Part One

When it comes to technology, I think I am pretty technological savvy. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would consider myself about an 8.5. I have taught myself to use many of the things available through technology. I use my Iphone, email, photoshop, wii, Imovie, iTunes, office, flash, multimedia, and most other things included on a computer. It is pretty easy for me to open a project and teach myself to use it without asking for help or using a starter kit.

Although most areas of technology I consider myself very strong in, I would like to improve in a few areas. When it comes to editing movies, blogging, or using excel sheets, I feel like I could improve greatly. These areas are a little more difficult and harder for me to use. Other than these few things I feel like using technology is very easy for me to use and greatly helps my life.

Digital Literature taking books from dead trees to electronic screens:

This article was mainly about the advances of digital literature. Today, almost all books, articles, newspapers, ect., are available online or in a digital form. This article explores the new inventions and innovations that keep coming out and helping the new generations explore hard literature right from their computers. Inventions such as Amazon's Kindle has now made it possible to carry hundreds of books right on a simple little hand-held devise.

In this article, the author Colin Hogan is arguing that people today prefer the latest technological advances as to the old methods of reading literature. His purpose of writing this was to convey examples of ways new technology has made it easier for students, and people to travel and use hand held electronics instead of hauling around books. I think this article is directed towards younger generations who are influenced more by technology and understand. Many schools have also turned to digital literature providing digital copies of books for students.
