This assignment although valid and interesting did not pertain, in my opinion, to this class’s goals. A VIDEO project about technology’s role in communication teaches me nothing how to write in the professional world. This project was about the advantages and disadvantages of technology’s use in communication, and I did not learn even the slightest thing about technical WRITING. What was it we were suppose to be doing? Oh yea, TECHNICAL WRITING. Maybe we should try doing some of that? And this assignment, all be it a writing assignment, is not in the slightest bit useful. In my mind technical writing is projects that are useful in the professional realm, such as business letters, applications, resumes, and quarterly reports. Hell maybe even a few project summaries. So why are we spending all of our time on talking about the effects of technology on communication when we just need to be learning how to communicate.
