Coming of Age

I enjoyed this text because I could identify with the text. Witnessing the changes of older language, communication, and physical tools used for communication I was really engaged with the reading. Understanding not only what people said but how they did so is just important. I reflected on old cave pictures or quilts that told a story, and how some people do not realize how they help people to communicate. Knowing previous methods of communication allows also for a communication system that is constantly evolving. Some of the tools people use today would never been thought of years ago. Although I enjoy the modern language and the different methods I am able to use to do so such as the internet, the cell phone, and instant messaging systems I feel that words in previous years meant more and left less room for misunderstandings.
