We read and print digital technology more today than we have in the past. For one,  media is in our face constantly. People use facebook, twitter and other social sites to express ideas. People either just participate or they are active in the digital world. people who are active  are more involved ,up to date and more literate., Facebook makes doing things and socializing easier. It helps with staying in contact with friends and networking. It helps me to make plans with my friends. literacy is different than digital literacy. They both have their own culture, but digital literacy you have to know a whole  different language. There is more slang and abbreviations.

The importance of writing in psychology

Writing will help me in my future. I plan going into psychology and  probably becoming a therapists .There is a lot of research done in my field so I will have to write about research and experiments.    I am not completely sure what I want to do in my future, but I know I will have to be able to communicate.  Writing will also help express observations.   Writing will also help me communicate with other people. Improving my writing skill will be beneficial.
