I sat in front of the screen of my laptop, staring at the blank, white page of Microsoft word. Where do I start? I was stumped. I had no idea where to start. I took my favorite pen and favorite notebook and started brainstorming ideas for this piece. Suddenly the ideas came flowing in one after another. I jotted down all the jumbled thoughts that preoccupied my mind. On paper, my thoughts were still all over the place, but these were my thoughts and ideas articulated in a way that I was able to make sense of it. Now, all I had to do was figure out how can I make this more readable. How can I make sense of it to everyone else? Using mechanical technology like a pen before typing into a word document gave me insight into the relationship I have with language and technology.
