After the idea of writing with a pencil
finally spread, people were using pencils, along with paper, to write
with instead of having to engrave their words on some sort of stone
or wood. Now, though, the use of pencil and paper is declining. The
world has “gone green,” and started utilizing the typewriters,
which eventually evolved into computers, laptops, etc. After reading
Baron's account of new literacy technologies spreading, it definitely
makes sense. In half my classes, half the work I have to do is done
on a computer and through the web. In others, a computer can be used
to take notes and write papers, which decreases the usage of a pencil
and paper.
