My Own Post

I believe that Joe Amato's reading was a very good reading about cultural technology. Not everyone has technology so we shouldn't go by one's knowledge if they don't have a computer. There is different writings such as blogs are differ from writings that we write about on our aim or in an essay. We should not be judged on our education if we do not have certain technology. I think that technology does show us a different side of things rather than writing all the time on a piece of paper. Blogging could be an example of a different writing. Blogging is your own personal opinion to something and writing about it and no one is correcting your spelling or grammar. We are limited if we don't have technology. Technology is important in our everyday life just as reading and writing is. Technology shows us how to type differently and to explore different websites. There is writing on facebook, twitter, myspace and emails.
In classroom teachers do have the most power if we do think of it. They are the ones standing in front of the classroom trying to teach different material to us in ways that we can understand them. We obey teachers and there rules in the classrooms. Teachers like to encourage and some like to discourage the technology used. In some classes I use my email all the time and in others there is no need for me to have an email or any communication with my teachers. To contradict myself we the students might have some power as well too, teachers don't have websites they can go on to have there students rated, but us students can rate our professors. Ratemyprofessor.com is a way to hear other students tell us about that certain teacher they had and if they give a lot of homework, if there mean, or if there an easy teacher that just doesn't care. We have the power to look at this and see what class we should actually try and one that we just shouldn't even bother with. I don't believe though that it should effect your social class and where you belong if you don't have certain technology even though it does limit you in some way. Everyone has there own position and standing in life for who they are if they have different racial or gender then others. Our culture ignores these influences because we don't live in a world that is equal. Everyone is different in their own way but by there differences they can be in a lower or higher social ranking.
I never think we should forget who we are or act different to forget our own certain status. We should be excepted no matter who we are but unfortunately things don't work that way in the world. Status really doesn't mean anything to me, but in other cultures being at a high level of ranking is important and sometimes people go to different measures to forget there status and where they really came from. By using texting and iming makes us more open to the different communications that we have with one another. In texting and iming we don't use the normal everyday standard english that we write in papers we use the language and the writing that is more comfortable to us. There's different writing technologies such as a phone, computer, tv that there is writing on. Technology can actually make us better in our writing and reading because we can learn to read and write on the computer as well not just by book or someone teaching it to us. But why should one be judged and put in a certain status if that person doesn't have the right tools or technology? If we all had the same tools and technology in life we'd all be the same and thats not making us unique from one another.
