Q: How has mobility changed writing? Or alternately, what
does mobility highlight about writing that we may not have realized before?
A: mobility through social media has changed writing. It has opened up new jobs titles to get and new majors that seem funny but are great for all the new social media jobs, example: Editing, Writing, and Media. Writing has become a short cut. Short cut to words like wat, b/c, gr8, lol, omg, lmao, ect. these words have become a short cut words. This has to do with social media limiting how many characters to write on a post.
Text can circulate within medias and that mobilizes the text to appear in different platforms. "New mobile technologies keep travelers connected and linked in to their social networks in unprecedented ways."(Molz). Connecting your social medias account is easy now. With big companies like google and Facebook buying smaller companies and integrating themselves within each other makes it easier to post one thing and it moving to every social media you own.
In a way mobility does hurt writing because with limited characters we have become adapted to using emojis to express the feeling or tone of the text. Adding an angry face to enforce anger or a silly face to backup the sarcastic mood has become a new way of setting tone in writing. Writing essays and papers are harder for younger generations because we have become accustomed to writing short to the point ideas that explaining that idea in 5 paragraphs is hard for them.
