Is Everyone an Author?

Is Everyone an Author?

I have been asked to address the question 'Is Everyone an Author?'. From my thoughts I have gathered that, yes everyone is an author. As technology has developed over the years communication has changed dramatically. From these changes in technology it has altered the ways in which an article, statistic, or opinion can be viewed. With the press of a button literally anyone can view what you post on the internet, through the internet people have become authors to the globe. As the Introduction said "We now live not only in a city, a state, and a country but in a global community as well - and we write, intentionally or not, to speakers of many languages, to members of many cultures, to believers of many creeds." this quote perfectly describes how the world of writing has evolved. Some people are authors who give speeches to address large scale issues, some people are authors of articles on the internet of organic foods, and then there are some people who are authors of group text messages. There is definitely a difference in audiences for every author but all of them create an idea for others to read and that all it takes. If communication had not evolved then my stance on the question would be completely different, if we did not have the privileges of the internet than no, not everyone would be an author. 

What is Writing?

Writing is expressing your thoughts and ideas through literature. Writing is a free flow of ideas. It lets us express our emotions in a way that other people can understand.Ways that we use writing in our lives is when we write texts to our friends, family, co-workers, do homework, e-mails, evaluations, agendas, and many more styles. If the audience is younger then we tend to be more informal but if they are older or have seniority/authority over us, we are more formal. We do this because we respect their authority or position. It is also common courtesy. Different forms of communication can send a more formal message depending on the form of communication.

About Me

I got a pretty classy truck, he does good on gas so we get along well. I'm a huge fitness freak. Everyday you can find me in the gym either early in the morning or in the evening. I'm gonna be a bodybuilder one day, maybe not pro but I'm going to be buff. My favorite food is sushi, color is glacier blue, movie Pain and Gain, TV Show Narcos, and favorite place is Whistler, Canada.

That's me,
Joshua
