Free Writting

The themes that seem to reoccur through my essay is how land lines really do not have as much of a use anymore compared to other phone that we use today..well cell phones. The themes that surprised me was the fact that so many people have really given up in cell phones and that people in America really do not use land lines at all how they used to. I think that the themes are developed enough through my essay as this is what my paper is about to prove that land lines are really not going to be around for that much longer. I was surprised that so many people do not have land lines any more and when I sat and thought about it I realized that my family too did not use their land lines anymore. I could develop and make them broader and go into more detail about the fact that no one really uses the land lines anymore also I would like to throw in more details and stats that show the fact that they really are disappearing and losing their importance. I think that I have the examples of personal and factual information in good spots through the paper but I might want to add more information like personal stories in other parts of the paragraphs. I do not think that there really is any place that needs to have to be deleted due to repetition and I think I have the paragraphs pretty well organized I just need to expand them some more.

Research paper - research

So researching my topic was harder then i thought it was going to be and has me definatley retinking what i want to write about. It took me a while to really get a good narrow search about my topic, which really surprised me since i thought it would be a very typical one for people to write about. It was hard for me because i am not good at looking up things at all, even on google. So it took me a while to find anything, however, when i did find sources they were very interesting and i had a good group to pick stuff out of. Then it became easier the more i used the diferent search engins and the more time i spent on it.
This was a great tool for you to show us because now if i ever need anything for any of my classes i can come back and use this. I liked it becaus, as you showed in class, i can get a million different types of information. LIke from magazines and journals and newspapers which help give me ideas to write about and i like the different styles that they are written in, this experience has definatley opened doors for me and i can continue to look up usefull information from the comfort of my room or the library, whatever comes first. But i definatley think that this research experience was worth it because now i can use this whenver i need to find sources for my papers!

Cell Phone Domination!

My topic is going to be the domination of the cell phone and the dissaperance of the land line. My question is going to be is it good that we are now able to be reached at all times no matter what instead of only when the person is home and is the cell phone as personal as it used to be since everyone can always reach you? Yes, this is researchable as there are many people who do not think that the phone is as personal as it used to be. I am interested in this because this does involve me since i could never see myself with out a cell phone! I do not think that it is a bad thing to always have your phone and have people always be able to reach you, most if the time. However, i do think that it has lost a sense of personal feel to it though.

Topic for Essay #2

My topic for the next essay is going to be about land lines vs. cell phones and how land lines are slowly being erased from the world as we know it as the cell phone continues to take over. My question is: is it good that we can be reached at all times? This is researchable on both sides by looking at the plus sides and negitve sides of both being able to be reached at all times and not being able to be reached at all times.
