Screen Capture

My difficult composing task is the argumentative essay assignment. As shown in my screen capture, my current progress with the argumentative essay is non existent due to the present lack of motivation, creativity, and sleep; thus making it extremely difficult! The first thought that came to mind when I viewed the image of my capture was "This is cool," followed shortly by, "Who knew I could take a picture of my screen with the computer!" I then wondered who came up with the idea of being able to capture your screen and what was the initial purpose of it.

As previously noted the screen capture amazed me a little, which inevitably led me to wonder how it worked. Although I couldn't come up with a plausible answer, I did notice how the image was reshaped to a smaller size to fit within the screen. I suppose I would say that compositions change shape in digital space due to the complex tasks that the creators of the computer set forth to enable users to complete given task. I'm not really sure how it happens, but my guess would be that the information is broken down and recorded, then remastered to be able to fit within different sizes as well as made viewable in different spaces. I could better understand the digital composing process by gaining some knowledge of it through observance. The best way to gain knowledge would be through research or a hands on course that provides information about it.
