Copy and Paste Literacy: Literacy practices in the production of a MySpace profile

From what I understand of this article, the idea of cutting a pasting means that we have become very repetitive in our social interaction and that we are cutting and pasting the same information about ourselves to each other. The literacy of technology is making it that our identifications are not changing and nether are we; it has come to us being totally unique. It has also given us the ability to cut and past things that we think serve to represent our personality.

Perils and Pitfalls of Wikipedia

This article is very much related to the “what’s new” blog I recently posted. This article talks about the fact that things like My space give us the opportunity to express our selves, but it can cost a lot on our reputation. Web sites like this must be monitored and parents must be held accountable for there children. Sites like this have the ability to make or break a person without them even knowing what has happened.
