1. The digital space has a major impact on composing, especially in our day and age. Where once there was only a desk, paper, and pen at your disposal, there is now a compact arsenal of gadgets. These new advances not only aid us in our conquests, they also hinder the progress. For example, in my screen shot I have Microsoft Office up and running, which is good. But I also have Facebook open, and hiding ever so slightly in the background just calling out to me. My toolbar has fun applications and programs like iTunes available at the touch of a button. All of these things are not going to help me compose a paper any faster. The digital space has made it so much easier to get distracted, or to just procrastinate until the very last possible moment. But on the same token, when not abused, it offers us an easier way to share our ideas with the world.
2. Digital composing processes are similar to those of non-digital. You design a draft or outline, expand your thoughts, and then produce a rough draft. Digital just makes it easier to find resources for the final draft. We can better understand by having a greater knowledge of which programs and websites are reliable or creditable, and which are not.
