Write New - Clive Thompson Slavik Shportko

Clive Thompson on the New Literacy Writes an interesting message to the readers about today’s writing, which is quite different from before.
The interesting part of his essay is that he mentions how technology has embraced into the New Literacy. Clive states that modern writing includes a lot of slang. However, as the study has been done is several American Universities, the results show no slang errors in freshman students work.
According to Thompson today’s writing is somewhat similar to Geeks Civilization. I assume that he states that writers are practicing more and are more educated. Writing is heading into a new way.
Interesting point that Clive brings is that students and young generation write way more and more. Not a single generation has wrote as much as today’s. Also, the writing involves more and more technology and the web. Before in America people didn’t write anything besides what school has required.
Most of the writing is practiced for performance; Americans are trying to explain messages in their writing. For example, Students
In Stanford University are not trying to be very creative as they write in-class essays because it’s only for a grade. However, the essays for other readers are more and more important. Therefore, they put much more effort into performance essays.
Today writing is graded or known as only “BAD” or “GOOD”. There is no fair writing.
