I was watching the presentation that Michael Wesch made at the Library of Congress, "An Anthropological Introduction to YouTube," (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPAO-lZ4_hU) and it made me think that entering into new forms of textual production can still be uncomfortable, even for young people who have grown up with the technologies. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on his presentation in relation to how this may become a "standard" way of participating in academic culture. Troy Thanks for your comments, Megan.

Years ago writing used to be turned in on paper and now many teachers required the paper typed out. Right now I think students see a course on Youtube as something exciting and fun but in the future it may become a standard class just like typing out papers have become a standard thing. I think students will be able to create argumentative writing this way . Bob Garfield would probably not like how many useless things are on Youtube. He may think that it is becoming a different and new boobtube. With technology changing so rapidly, I believe in the future this sort of digital writing will be considered normal.
