Selfe Intro

My group in class focused on the introduction part of Cynthia L. Selfe article, "Lest We Think the Revolution is a Revolution." The introduction starts off saying that technology is linked to change. And the English Department is adjusting to this change from technology. Technology has its good and bad sides, some people believe that it can improve our lives others fear the effect of technology. It affects the work of English related jobs. "[i]t is easy for us-for Americans, in particular-to believe that technological change leads to productive social change" (Pag. 293). We think that technology will lead to better social change. Teachers are happy with technology and we hope that computers can help us. Computer networks can help people communicate with government places. Social forces dont like technology, they fear it threatens to disrupt the world. And Selfe goes on saying snap shots tell rich and powerful storys, like weddings and graduations, they reveal to us ourselves.
