Reflections

The audience I choose for this assignment was a very broad one because of the wide age range of people with this problem. I wanted to be able to address everyone who had question and concerns whether they were young or old. The reason I wrote this was just so people were aware the harmful side affects that could result form these procedures. Also I know many young people, including me, do not always follow the instructions given from our health care providers and that can and will cause problems. In this argument I was trying to prove that with the new technologies also come more intense and serious consequences. I am not trying to convince anyone not to get help with their vision problems, but to be aware of the possible damages or consequences that may come with them BEFORE they make a decision.

I am proud of the fact that I am helping other people by using my own experience. I know now the dangers and want to warn others about them. I have a great, not so great for me, personal experience that hopefully will help people realize this is serious stuff. I know already people have told me every time they fall asleep with their contacts in they think of me. Or that they are going to start taking their contacts out more often. I wish I had more time to work on this paper because of all the other assignments I have at the end of the year I have been very stretched for time. I also wish it did not have to be a hypertext essay. I still vary much so do not like those and would rather just turn in a paper. With it being hypertext not only do you have to write the paper but you have to design the pages, make sure all your links work and all that jazz. Because we are only able to access Dream weaver at school that is the only opportunity you have to work on it. I know for me personally that if I do not get it done in class it is very hard for me to find extra time because while I am at school I have classes back to back till 10 at night and the days I am not at school I am at work from 6am till 8pm. This does not give me personally a lot of time to come back to school and work with dream weaver.

I think the peer reviews are very helpful and enjoy doing them.
