Screen Shot

How does composing change shape in digital spaces?

When I first saw my work as a photograph, it reminded me how often we take technology for granted. There are so many things we are able to do, and it has made our lives so much easier.

In reality, a computer could hold everything a person needs to compose a paper. Back in the day, one had to gather a notebook, pen, books and notes. Digital composing allows for someone to have access to everything they need in one place.

Digital composing is more organized, and allows a person to collect their thoughts more effectively and neatly.It also allows us to easily make edits, and correct any mistakes. I can simply press the backspace button and fix an error I find. If I had to do this manually with a pen and paper, I would probably have to rewrite the paper. I am also able to find any spelling errors with a click of a button. Digital composing saves time and stress.

How can we better understand digital composing processes?

The best way is research or trial and error. In order to learn anything, someone has to try and experience it. For example, I was aware of how to do a screen shot, but I have never had to save it as a jpeg before. I went on the Internet and entered my inquiry in Google, and found my answer in less than a minute. To better understand anything, we have to have the willingness to learn something new.
