"Just as scientific formulas may be elegant and beautiful, artistic creations may be informed by science or technology." This is a small excerpt from Not a Cosmic Convergence. This one line says a lot in just a few words. The beauty of something can be lost in what people perceive it to be. Some see formulas for math and science as very geometric and not flowing. However there is elegance behind the connection of numbers and what they stand for and are made in to. The same goes for writing, that some works of art, including writing are background with science or technology.
Writing is intertwined so much into technology and science. Technology would not exist without its own languages, C+, C++, Adobe, HTML, etc. This writing is an art form as much as it is a science. It took a lot of creativity for code to be developed and science too. Writing is happening more than ever today than ever before. Through Twitter, Facebook, texting, and e-mail, almost everyone is doing one of these things once a day, if not more.
Writing can also be considered a science because there is a process. It just doesn't occur, there is a process behind how and why it happens. We think about what we want to write before it happens same with science. Heck, I would say that writing is more of a science, anything can happen, there is no law of writing that says everything you write will be successful or that writing success happens if you do "A" plus "B" and you will get "C."
Writing is in a new era, you can take it or leave it however you'd like. Just remember, that Tweet you send, status you post, it is all writing...
