Notes

     If I could choose to present it in any way, I would choose to copy the whole thing onto a larger, digital "iPhone" that could be pulled up onto a computer screen and read in the "Notes" application. I feel like this would help to emphasize the dependance and attachment that iPhone users have on their devices. One thing that would be different with my paper would be the spacing and font. It would be in a fun, almost hand- written looking font, and there would be no double space, single space option. Unless one physically went through and double spaced it personally, it would always stay in single space. 
     To have that amount of content squished onto one small application may not seem like the most effective way to present something, but in reality, how many times are iPhones pulled out of a pocket or purse, and the user browsing the internet or checking for an incoming text? Throughout the course of a day, that person would probably read or take in as much information as that of a five page paper.
     Interestingly enough, most people think of a formal paper as plain black ink on white paper, Times New Roman font, double spaced. But if one were to put something like a paper onto a technological device, would the formality of the assignment drop, or would their grade drop for the way it was presented? Possibly. Yet, at the same time, millions of people type things into their phone daily, whether it be texts, quick notes, search items, and the like. Would it not make it easier for someone to sit and write a paper if it was on something that they were used to, instead of having such a formal and somewhat intimidating air about it?

  1. You will love making a prezi, I think. Its format lends itself to this kind of making.
