The Writing in the Wild article, by Olin Bjork and John Pedro Schwartz, is a interesting article regarding the academic affects of improving technology. The article spends a fair amount of time discussing the affect on student writing spaces: that students, before mobile technology, generally wrote in either the dorm or the library. Now with mobile technology students can write virtually anywhere and publish anywhere there is internet access. The class room dynamic is changing as laptops are appearing more and more often. Although laptops are not totally replacing paper as the note taking median, tablets are becoming more prominent. In addition more digital inventions are becoming more involved in the academic system, such as podcasts and blogging.

I enjoyed reading the article. I found many of the ideas about changing to a wireless classroom to make sense, specially in regards to the prominence of personal computers and the importance of internet in daily life. With American society becoming more dependent on the mobile technology, it only makes sense to have the academic community take advantage of the offered services. The idea of breaking the writing locations from being writing locations vs. non-writing locations into where everyplace can be a writing location, depending on how one feels like working.
