Writing About Everyday Writing Museum

If we were making a museum of everyday writing, I would include posts from online such as Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr because I feel that these are some of the truest forms of everyday writing.  Many people might disagree with this decision because these forms of recording ones thoughts are not handwritten, but I believe that because these posts can be quickly typed, they are a truer representation of what the person who wrote them is thinking at the time.  They are also even more informative about the person who wrote them than most writing because now Facebook allows people to include their emotions along with their thoughts when they post something online, giving even more back-story to what this person is going through.  The comments that people leave will also allow us to see the person’s relationships with their friends and family and where they stand with them on their thoughts and opinions.  I believe that posts on social media are forms of everyday writing worthy of being put in a museum because of the great amount of information they provide about the personal life of the person who wrote it.
