Man this chapter was quite long, it was too wordy, but I managed to read it all (sorta). The article was interesting because the author talked about how they researched on selfies. I would never in a million years would have realized you could do that. Mainly because I never thought people put thought into a selfie besides looking good and/or having a good time. Then again, I can’t really relate to this because I never take selfies. I try to enjoy the most out of an experience so I do not have time to take pictures of myself. There are pros and cons to selfies, one of which the pros is I can like I said enjoy the moment for how it is, but the cons is that I won’t have anything to remember it except my head. At the same time, this pros is debatable, but I wouldn’t embarrass myself for an ugly selfie. The only time I see myself through technology are usually when I photobomb by accident. Thinking back to the article with the whole people couldn’t read or write in the seventeenth century is hard to believe. I don’t think I could survive that well, mainly because I grew up being forced to know how to read and write so it’s still hard to believe. I am happy though we live in the era where it is safe to spread message across to the other person easily. So I am very curious where the future will take us and how technology is going to advance for more than just a selfie or writing, but how will the English literature change even more than it already did as time flew by.
