ENG 101 - Writing about the Connected Life

Writing about the Connected Life: Do you belong to Generation C? Marketers use the term to describe consumers who are especially connected via social media. These individuals shoot videos, share images, and post written opinions. If you’re reading this, you’re probably part of this creative generation. But what does it mean to be so connected? Is everyone in the world equally connected? Is social media the only way to “connect” with others? Is there a way not to be a consumer, and what happens when we dare to disconnect? We’ll pursue these questions, along with others that you pose, as we explore ideas about networked life.

Writing allows us to discover, learn, invent, reflect and express ourselves. It also allows us to communicate with audiences for many purposes. We’ll write traditional print texts, and we’ll also compose digital texts as we draft, revise, edit, and workshop.
