How Technology has Changed the way I read and write

I don't think technology has changed the way I read but it has changed what material I read. For example if I want to read about sports I don't look at the sports section in a newspaper, I go online read about the most recent sports news or stats. By having a computer at home I am able to read almost any type of news before it gets on a newspaper.

On the other hand technology has changed the way I write. When typing a paper technology helps you because the computer software has spell check, thesaurus, and many other features that help my writing.Technology is a good source to research and find things you don't find in books. Technology also affect my writing in a bad way because when I am not using a computer I sometimes misspell words that I usually don't misspell.

I think that's right. I think technology can make us lazy in that we don't have to learn certain grammatical ideas or the spelling of words because spell check can make the corrections needed without us ever taking the time to see if it is even making the correct changes.
