Lessing Pages 53-79

"teaching writing
is only about teaching kids how to spell.
Text is one part—and increasingly, not the most powerful part"

With having the younger of the generation only learn on computer is pretty absurd. How are they are going to write? How are they going to get the flow, to have the right grip while you write. It UNFORTUNATELY
Does not come completely natural like feeding our faces does. 

This discusses the very importance of writing, and how it is slowly decreasing out of school systems. Cause now, Microsoft word is the grader and word tells us when there is a misplaced comma, or period, when a word is spelled incorrectly, if we have run-on sentences, it adds hyphens for us! The possibilities that they don't exactly know the constructive uses of those elements is quite disappointing. 

"Television and newspapers are commercial entities.
They must work to keep attention.
If they lose readers, they lose revenue. 
Like sharks, they must move on.
But bloggers don’t have a similar constraint."

Blogs in a norm have a different way of adapting and does not have an absence since it's the creator that is sharing the information not just an organization. It creates more of a life and like for the nature of a blog. Fortunately they are easy to come by and easy to fulfill, unfortunately there are to many of them to weed out in order to find the PERFECT story. And that is where the newspaper and the commercial people come into play, is that they can make anything seem as entertainment versus bad news or good news. They can make something super negative seem like an everyday occurrence, and one never forgets it. 



Moving on! I find it so hilarious that Film, Recorded Music, Radio, Cable TV, were all born out of piracy. WHICH in today's culture, is highly illegal and one could not get away with it anymore. But why would one want to pirate those now? They already made million, now pirating a time machine. That's a different story.
