I researched marketing and advertising on the Internet. I learned that consumers are paying more attention and buying more things on the Internet opposed to going shopping. They are not interested in things that are inconvenient to them, they want to do things fast, easy and convenient. Therefore buying and selling products on the Internet has exploded within the past years. Selling on the Internet is a prime selling point for companies, therefore businesses are focusing and spending most of their marketing money on marketing on the Internet. One of the articles explains techniques that you should use to help make the marketing and advertising for your company successful. One thing that I thought was interesting was that the author of this article said, "You can think of strategy as the sight on a rifle. If the sight is even slightly out of adjustment, you'll end up wide of the target or you might miss the target altogether." That goes to show that you need to know what you are talking about because if you don't then you might not succeed with marketing on the web.

I think that technology is increasing and getting better. Because of this, the technology changes are making writing easier. You can set up your program to finish typing your word for you, you can even program your computer so you can talk into it and it will write what you say. I think that the style of writing is also changing. Media has to stay in tuned to the society today. Society frequently changes and therefore writing, along with several other things has to stay up to date with the changes of today. People want to listen to what is "in" and read about things that they are interested in such as celebrates. So changes have to be made in continue to keep the interest that the current society wants.

I don't think that when kids use shortcuts for words is necessarily a bad thing. I agree with Dr. Samantha Blackmon when she says that “Who cares if a student, to save time, types ‘u’ for ‘you?’ I want to see them writing more and if that means breaking a few rules, that’s OK.” When kids write on the Internet to friends and such, the first thing on their mind is not grammar, spelling and functioning, its to say what you have to and move on to the next person. However the continues misspelled words, grammar and functioning will more than likely be done with they need to write a paper. So it may take kids a little longer because they need to concentrate on the fundamentals but as long as they proofread and make sure that everything is proper and they are willing to take that extra time to correct things, then there is no problem beating around the bush when talking to your friends.

My experiences for writing for the web have been limited. I have never written specifically on the internet, but I have always had an interest in the way the writing is done on the web. There are techniques I'm sure you have to use when writing. You can tell when reading things on the Internet the people that have experience writing for the web because they know how to hold your interest and get the point across quickly. Other people that don't have experience don't really know about what is necessary to keep a persons interest when reading. They just write. I want to get into advertising and marketing for my career and there are so many things that are done on the computer and Internet, I am sure that writing for the web will help me with my career.
