EDU 307: Write about writing

Writing: The activity or skill of marking coherent words on paper and composing text, the activity or occupation of composing text for publication, written work especially with regard to its style or quality, books, stories, articles, or other written words, a sequence of letters, words, or symbols marked on a paper or other surface.

I'm not entirely sure what to write about writing. I think that writing is not only writing on a paper so you can visually see words on a page but also spoken. In the new digital age that our society is in we have to start opening our eyes to not just the written word but also put more weight on the spoken word. Sometimes people will talk about how if its not written down its not a "contract" or its easy to go back on your word if you're frequently a dishonest person-this i find to be true. However, i feel that the spoken word has much more than the written word in some circumstances. Spoken word has inflection and emotion attached to it-yes it is true that written word can be interesting and have emotion but spoken word is attached to a person.
