Changing With the Times

I never really thought about it like this before, but until the "Invent your own technology" project, I have never written anything without some type of technology. It started with pencils and erasers, so as to be able to correct mistakes that were surely to be made. Next, once my handwriting had become much more my own than a replica of the standard alphabet, I started to use a pen. I didn't much prefer one to the other, and used both until the introduction of computers and word processed documents. I still write with pens and pencils when taking notes in class and such but nowhere near as frequently as I type. It's not that I avoid using them, but the convenience of such readily editable text, and the ability to do so many other things on the computer while I "write" always seems to make me plop down at my desk and open up my laptop...
