Cynthia Selfe believes that technology is changing the world, for better or worse, she doesn’t say out right, but you do receive the feeling that it is for the better. She feels that technology especially the computer, has been greatly embraced by the English teacher. It has opened the door for new and interesting topics and ideas that would not have come about without the invention of technology. The internet helps more than just the average people it also helps the government, the financial and political aspects. Though many people have mixed feelings about technology, the benefits out way the bad.
