Response to the Sept 24 Presentations
Rhetoric to me is still kind of a mystery to me. I like the way Rebecca's presentation was interactive. All things being equal website her presentation has been the most comprehensive. But some of the fill in the blanks were vague. Erin honestly I didn't get much out of the actual presentations. I will go back and read these two articles to see if I get more out of the actual article.

Presentations given on Sept 19
The presentations were good but I had trouble getting alot out of them. But I did see the value of rhetoric and how it applies to writing and computers. Rhetoric was defined in one presentation as "meaningless language as a means to impress". When using computers to write no one can "hear" an author's tone of voice. The author must use his/her words to impress the reader. Other examples of rhetoric was body language and warning sounds.
Before I took this class I had no idea what hyper text was. Now I am slowly beginning to understand its importance to the cyber world. You really can't have a website without it. The cool thing is that the hypertext is created while you are creating your site. I didn't know it but hypertext can even include links to audio and visual enhancements.

How articles classroom articles contribute to Writing and Computers
I believe that in both the presentations the underlining theme is the computer. More and more the computer is making the world a much smaller place. People are more likely to approach someone on line more than they would in person. Then the actual act of meeting that person in person is a little easier. Two companies can do business with each other from across the globe.
I didn't realize that a person could achieve fame from the internet just as some of the people in Ashley's presentation. That shows that the internet can even make you a star. More people are "connected" now than ever before. The audience that the TV has lost is now surfing the net. Which gives any and everyone a much broader stage to show themselves on.
