Yancey struggles to define what writing is, and how much it actually covers. Like the multiliteracies article and George’s article, Yancey credits technology for changing how writing’s definition is defined. As public reading and writing grew more popular, there began a mixture of class, gender, ethnicity coming and functioning together as a whole. With this though, Yancey explains there is a decline in English departments at schools and higher education itself. This is because it is becoming part of our daily lives without having to go to school for it. Yancey gives the example of language used in cinema which has become common vocabulary. From this brings up the next topic of how composition should be taught. For the most part, teachers have already moved onto using digital literacy.

Even so, Yancey argues that there must be three major changes made to education to teach composition. The first is developing a new curriculum, then revise the current curriculums writing style and finally developing a major in composition and rhetoric. The new curriculum should focus on the writer to the world, rather than how it is set up currently with the writer to teacher. Because of the growth of technology, writing to an individual rather than a group is no longer reasonable. It can create some good writers, but using the same method as when there was no technology does not prepare the students for the future.
