Dennis Baron. Applying and Exploring Ideas. q.1


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.
