differences in writing today


Prof. Author’s                                                                           Everyday authors
Can claim their peace’s
Can write what they want on the internet
Work has been published
Available to readers around the world
Struggle to come up with original peace of work.
More for the digital age, work together
Use what they see fit to put in their peace
Use multiple sources to get info then regurgitate it to make it their own.
Must be published to be recognized as an author
Need to consider who and why they are reading it








Formal writing                                                                                   general writing
Has structure and guidelines
Say what’s on your mind
Structured towards a certain audience
Uses pictures or graphs to get a point across
Not part of the social media
Now includes sounds and videos

Very collaborative









1.       The differences in the styles and the ways you can get information out to the public are different as once I thought they were one in the same. I thought that if you put your name on a well put together piece of writing no matter what it was on or how long a thought you were the author of that piece.
2.       When I started to run out of ideas I turned to the book to help re-boot my memory for some of the differences in how people are authors and formal writing.
3.       I think it’s important to have the boundaries and the rules to keep things in order. All though I am not against the free speech of other people but we need to have a little order to prevent chaos. It’s one thing to create and be recognized for it and another to share what someone else has done. When you take someone else’s work or creation and put a little twist or spin on it you should at least give the person who inspired you the credit they deserve.

4.       When you can recognize you are using someone else’s work and give them the deserved credit you can save yourself a lot of pain and suffering. They call it plagiarism and if you don’t recognize and give the deserved credits you can get in big trouble.
