Question of the Day: Read: To What Piece of Technology Would You Write a ‘Love Letter’?
By KATHERINE SCHULTEN Download the Audio

Write a three paragraph letter supporting your opinion. Please check grammar, spelling and punctuation.  Post it on your Blog.

Try your hand at writing a similar “love letter” to the piece of technology that means the most to you, whether it’s an iPod you own or a computer, television, camera, or cellphone you covet. Like David Pogue does, address the device directly and describe the details that make it “something special” to you. (You needn’t write about the tech specifics of the device unless you want to; instead, you might concentrate on how this device improves, or could improve, your life.)  

• You may write a three stanza poem or a three verse song or rap instead.
• "iPhone!!!" Mr. Viereck
