Screen Capture Of Your Desktop

After reading this assignment, I became very confused, mostly because taking a screen shot of my computer is extremley new to me. After messing around with it for a while, I realized this feature is actually interesting and I began to think more about the contents on my screen. In this picture I have three windows open that consist of the internet, iTunes, and my Biology 130 lecture notes. While on my computer, these are the usual windows open, with an exception to the Biology 130 notes, that can be other class notes as well. I usually have iTunes open becuase I enjoy listening to music while doing my homework and I think doing so makes me a better worker. I have a window containing my Biology 130 notes becuase I am often looking back at my notes and finishig them because my teacher lectures fast. The final window, containing the internet with tabs consiting of Blogger, UMD email, and C-Tools, is almost always open when I am on the computer. I am always on my email, continuously recieving email from teachers and financial aid, C-Tools checking for new class assignments, and rarely Blogger.com, which I usually only use for composition classes. After analyzing my picure I realized I have a lot on my screen at once. This tells me that I am a multitasker and doing so does not phaze me.

I thought for a long time on how to answer the two questions posted with this assignment. The questions are somewhat confusing, though I will try to answer them to my fullest capability. I think composing changes shape in digital spaces by making it more summarized. I say this because when I work on my computer with these windows open, I am involved in each with much detail. However, when looking at the picture, I can summarize what I am doing in just a few sentences becuase the digital space shows all this at once. I think we can better understand digital composing processes by doing them more often and looking at them in further detail. If this is an example of digital processing, which I think it is, I think we can understand them more by answering more question concerning them, exploring them, and ultimatley doing more of them.
