Reflections Chapter 7 - Doesn't word processing make the writing process to easy?

I do not think that word processing makes writing too easy. Word processors do allow for easier editing, and takes focus away from the handwriting skills that were the cornerstone of most of my early education.  Like the Classroom snapshot shows us, students can have wonderful work and motivation, but the process could be so frustrating that they loose that motivation. When editing is simple and quick, students will have more time to get creative and starting to include images and other multimedia like links to websites. The processes that we take while writing with paper and penile are the same as with a word processor it is just a different method.
