Hypertext Reflection

My hypertext essay was in response to the article about Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants. When addressing the audience I tried to make my response appealing to both the Digital Natives and Immigrants but I know I was on the side of the Digital Natives, since I feel that I am part of that group. My intentions were to have both Digital Natives and Immigrants finish reading my response and both feel as though they have learned something new. I used the logic that I found with the article of the main page and some other articles that I found to support my ideas for change. Overall when it came to writing this essay i felt that I approached in a different way that I would approach any other essay. I think that when I was writing I was keeping or at least trying to keep the idea of the overall all appearance in mind. When doing my responses I kind of thought more of how this would work into the overall essay rather than just responding to the authors idea and presenting my own opinions. When it comes to writing I am not very gun hoe about it. I usually take a long time to get started but always seem to do alright in the end. However, when presented with a computer and internet idea of writing an essay it appealed more to my interests and gave me a better motivation to write the essay.

Hi Zack,
You sound like you really enjoyed writing your article. I'm glad you did but I takes a long time in getting started when I'm writing too.
It seem like those first words won't come to your mind on what to write down. Your article sound very interesting and I think I will take time to read it.

I'm glad that writing on the computer helped you throughout the writing process. I think it was easier for me to oragnize my thoughts with all of my information one click away!
