I think it’s inevitable at this point in time to incorporate technology into our writing. Personally, I find a lot of usefulness in the technologies I use for my writing. I store most of my writing on Google docs simply because this is where I started my writing. I also find websites like easybib and scribblr to make citations easier for me. I’ve had to manually form citations for tens of sources in highschool, and it’s a tedious task that these sites automate for me. I rarely use ChatGPT but I haves used it to outline long papers to identify the main points of a reading. When I need to read lots of sources, this saves me time but doesn’t cost me any understanding. Additionally, I wouldn’t have access to any “outside” sources that classes sometimes mandate for papers without a laptop or the internet. I think technology assists in the organization and the process of writing, but the rest is up to us. Most resources just save time or allow for storage.
I completely agree with your post. I also use a lot of technologies to help articulate an assignment. Using all these technologies sometimes feels like I forgot how to do a simple assignment; like you said, cite an article using scribblr because I am so accustomed to using different technologies.
I would agree that with technology it had made writing easier. Even though it’s easier I don’t use all the resources like easybib or scribblr these are things that I have never used and will check it out to see if it’s something that can help me.
I agree with ayana with the usfulness of technology on writing, technology significantly enhances writing by streamlining tasks, improving efficiency, and broadening research capabilities. Tools like AI assistants and online platforms facilitate organization, grammar checks, and source citation, allowing writers to concentrate on creativity and content quality. While technology offers valuable support, it complements rather than replaces the essential elements of critical thinking and personal expression in writing. In short, technology is a valuable asset in the writing process, enabling writers to achieve higher productivity and quality in their work.
I agree with what you said about technology and its usefulness in writing. I also used the resources you mentioned in your post such as Google docs and Easybib. Another resource I find useful is Grammarly which helps you check the grammar of your writing and Goodnotes if you want to brainstorm on a tablet.
