"I 'Heart' Novels" by Dana Goodyear and I was quite impressed by the information. Before I go on with anything, I could never write a novel via my phone, I get annoyed when I have to text for long periods of time. It would never work out for me. This article showed me how the world is advancing with technology. I mean people are writing novels are their cell phones! Pretty soon we won't even need laptops anymore, just cell phone.
I found two things very interesting while reading this article. The first of which was that the keitai showetsu is an outlet for Japanese women. It gives the women of Japan a voice when they are normally not allowed to speak for themselves." Like professor Satoko Kan said, 'it is a feminist perspective in a male-dominated culture.'
The second thing I found interesting was that the Japanese are extremely private when it comes to their Internet activity. "The Japanese Internet is dominated by false names and forged identies," and almost all of the authors keep their identities hidden. I feel like Americans can learn from this because according to the article "You're Leaving a Digital Trail" our privacy is changing and on its way to becoming non-existent.

Oops I have a grammar mistake at the very beginning. I mean to say ..After "I 'heart' Novels" by Dana Goodyear, I was quite impressed.....
ReplyDeleteI, too, could never do such a thing! I can't even e-mail from my phone because it takes too long. However, you are so right. Soon enough, computers will be so outdated!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on how crazy it is that so many people in Japan use fake identies on the internet. I feel like many more Americans should take this concept and use it when they are putting so much personal information out there for the entire world to access. I also HATE texting long texts and couldn't imagine writing a novel in texting form!!
