Week Two: WBQ

Imagine how your life would change without access to a computer or cell phone for a month? Describe the process of writing a research paper without the internet.


My life would be impossible without access to a computer or a cell. Just a day without these technological tools makes me want to cry. The computer and cell are my favorite communication devices. It’s how I call my family, text my friends, email my boss, complete my homework assignments, and keep me from going insane from long days of boredom.
I hate leaving the house without a cell phone. If a family emergency came up I want to make sure I can be there as soon as possible. When my car breaks down I make sure I have my cell phone so I can call my parents or AAA. Without access to a computer I cannot play computer games, escape boredom, talk on AIM, and use the internet.
The first thing my mom used to take away from me was my internet connection and even that alone is torture. Without the internet, you have only the library as a research tool. The internet is amazing because you have all the information in the world at your fingertips. Now although some sources are unreliable, you can always check. Without the internet, you would have to use the card catalogue, buy books to lookup proper research paper format and spend several hours in the library researching.
Writing a research paper without the internet is almost as impossible as living a normal life without a cell phone and computer.
