With the explosion of cell phone popularity in last decade, my parents (and the rest of their generation) have been faced with a technological dilemma: either rebel entirely to technology and be an outcast, or conform, and be forever addicted to their mobile devices (like the rest of us). They chose the latter, although the magnitude of their cell phone attachment is not quite as impressive as my generation’s. About five years ago, my parents did what I never thought they would, and since then I have seen a change in their literacy habits: they actually use technology. They “facebook” and send emails, they even attempt to use text slang: “yo. seein if u 2 r available 4 breakfast.” It’s just so damn cute sometimes… Hey, they’re trying though, that’s the important part.

The first sponsor that comes to mind is my father. As hard as it is to admit, I have imitated most all of his writing practices. I even inherited his habit of writing notes on his hand with a ball point pen. Over the past five years or so, he has been writing a book. I’m not entirely sure what it is about, but I know it is centered on the problems with capitalism. He is a highly philosophical thinker and he is a constant note-taker, more practices I have acquired as well. I haven’t attempted to write a book yet, but I’m sure at some point I will.
