Blog 6
My group was assigned to read the "Chat Room" transcript, so I decided to keep that transcript for my DA project. In this transcript there are two participants. They have a remarkable conversation and transition from one topic to another. Person "S" is young interviewer and person "A" a female interviewee reveals in the conversation that she has been to college. The interviewee talks about her positive and negative experiences with technology. All of these experiences the interviewee went through merge into one focus on how technology, language and social life were developed and used at that time where "there was no restrictions."
This transcript included two excerpts showing how person "A" went through her experiences from being fearful to powerful and confident in Excerpt 2.
I liked reading this transcript and would use transecript to demonstrate her increased confidence in using technology. She grows from being immature and afraid to being a somewhat smarter, stronger and more confident user of technology.
