I'm not so sure writing is a technology, but I would have to say that technology influences our writing greatly. It gives us the ability to sit at a computer screen and edit our thinking as much as we would like. It is extremely easy for us to press the backspace button on our keyboard. If I was only able to use a pen and paper to write, I don't think I would sit there critiquing my words as carefully. It is somewhat of a hassle to start crossing out words on paper. Plus, it simply looks messy and unprofessional. It is much more difficult for me to read my notes from my notebook than those typed up on my computer.
Technology expands our thinking because there is an abundance of information online that is waiting to be browsed upon. While we browse the internet, we discover new ideas and facts that we were previously unaware of. Those innovative ideas make our brains start to turn even more. I believe that as long as we have technology, there will be no limit to our thinking; it will be perpetual.
