Technology and Writing

Technology has affected so many things in the past few years, including writing. It has a huge impact on writing and on people's papers, mostly the appearance of them. Technology and it's programs have made it possible for people to even more creative when they are writing papers or doing any work on the computer that has to do with writing.
The simple things in technology that we now take for granted, like spell check, have just become so familiar to us but they haven't always been there. Technology makes it so easy for us now where we don't even have to go through our own papers and check for those errors. Even things like word count come in handy so often, and its yet another part of technology. This also makes it easier for the writer to think out of the box, and use bigger words and make sure they are spelled right too.
Technology has also made it so that we can change the font style and size in our papers, which can make a huge difference in how the final paper looks. This gives the writer to make the paper their own and really let their personality show through the way their text looks. You can also add different colored font and backgrounds which makes a huge difference in the look to your paper and really makes it appealing to the eye. They also have different options for fonts like bold, italic, etc which makes it easy to make titles in your paper stand out as well.
Clip art and photoshop is also a huge advance in technology that lets us improve our writing. This makes our paper look a lot more appealing to the eye, and if you're writing a paper on a certain object this makes it very easy for the reader to see what the author is talking about.
Overall, technology is a huge part of the way we write papers today. It's also something that is always changing and there are also always new things coming out everyday. It's also something we all take for granted and use every time we write a paper. We have become so dependent on the little things like spell check. Technology is a great thing thats always changing and you never know what will come out next.
