Before you get going on blogging about technology and its relationship to popular/sub popular culture, I'd like you to briefly reflect on the Da Word graffiti artist by Tonouchi. What isues do you think he raises? What issues did you like or dislike about what he says? What did you think about the language he uses and what questions did this reading raise for you?

The issue he raised for me was showing how different people’s lives are from one another and I liked hearing about and reading text that was from a different culture than what I was used to, his being Hawaiian. His language was something similar to what my generation uses in everyday text messaging, and he used it as a primary language every day. The question his language raised for me is this; The Language he uses is very different to us but normal to him and his people, my question is does our language we use sound weird or strange to him in comparison to his?
