At this day in age, we are at a point in which we have the means to be more mobile than ever before. With the amount of technologies available to us, we can allow mobility to affect different aspects of our lives. Mobility has shown us that writing can be spread and taken almost anywhere. With the technologies we have today, writing can be shared with large audiences at the click of a button. If we are focusing on the traveling field, there are many ways for travelers to stay mobile in their networking. A person could be on one side of the world, and their friend on the other, yet they are still able to communicate through writing on various platforms. There is email, instant message, Facebook message, texting, etc. In the past, travelers had no access to things such as the Internet, but now, the Internet is a large part of travel. Many people travel to get away from things like the Internet and just be in a state of relaxation and isolation for a while. Others travel and want to post their every move on the Internet and social media sites for their friends and followers to see. In this sense, mobility has definitely changed writing because we are constantly on the go, yet can write for all to see, really no matter where we are. Even if it is not writing on the Internet, you can still write during your travels, and share it with people when you return. Mobility has helped us connect with things all over the world. Because of the increase in advanced technology, we are able to be more mobile thane ever.
