Journal 6- Mia Batansky

From the beginning of time, there has always been mobility. Although the definition and the act itself have evolved over time, it has always basically been the same thing. Molz introduces mobility to the reader say that it has always been there since the beginning. She uses examples of connectivity and collaboration to show how mobility can occur. She uses the example of traveling and how people are able to connect and collaboration with each other throughout their trips. She always talks about how through mobility, people are able to create communities.

            I believe mobility has been able to change writing due to technological advances. Nowadays, people are able to constantly be writing as long as they have some kind of technology with them. Anyone who wants to be a writer is given the opportunity to be one because of technology. They can also post whenever and wherever. With that being said, just like Molz states, technology has helped mobility to create a connectivity between people. Due to social media, people all over the world are able to connect with whoever they want if they desire to. Molz gives the example of how new technology allows for people who are traveling to connect with those at home through interactive traveling. For example, people are able to share pictures, update their Facebook status, even snapchat what they are doing. Molz explains how collaboration is an aspect of mobility by giving the example of travels being able to ask other people who may have visited that place how long they should stay there or what the best restaurants to eat at are located. In the current 21^st century, technology has a big part of how mobility works. Before technology was created, people had to spread they work by paper. Now, people are able to send emails and even upload their work to websites. Due to such how technological advances, more and more people are given the opportunity to become writers. Without mobility, people would not be able to have their pieces read and without technology, not as many people would be able to read what they have written.
