14 WEEKS TO GO!!!

Well the first week of classes was fabulous, especially with the cold. Other then that everything went well because I have started a whole new list of courses for a different major. Back on subject about English this week, blogging, I have never ever really knew what blogging was until now, especially with the minute YouTube video that was shown in class. Blogging seems interesting to me because I can write down my thoughts about class and other subjects. I never knew that Professors actually used blogs as a communication because I always thought of it as a youth thing similar to texting. it was interesting to be introduced to the Professors blog page and it also interesting that we are doing blogs in class so we can have a discussion on the side. Then, for this weeks topic of technologies of writing, I never really knew that Thoreau's family had a pencil manufacturing business which shocked me. Also, the pencil is actually a technology which is odd because the pencil does not seem like a technology because today, we see technology as electronics expensive things, but in reality every thing is technology to make humans have an easier life. With today's technology, I think that in the future we will have robots doing every thing for us and that we wont be doing any labor since we have the robots.
