For myself I have seen significant improvement in my proper use of MLA citing. A good example is looking back at some of my citing in my first writing compared to my final writing. In the first assignment I would directly give off a quote without giving an explanation of what the author is talking about.  “Like all teens, my friend’s daughter tested the limits of her parents’ restrictions. For some infraction or another, they grounded her. And to reinforce the seriousness of her misconduct, they took away her mobile phone. Immediately the girl became physically sick. Faint, nauseous, and so ill she couldn’t get out of bed. It was as if her parents had amputated a limb. And in a way they had. Our creations are now inseparable from us.” You can see that I ave improved significantly in my final assignment, give a brief explanation of what the author is discussing before the citation. In Kevin Kelley’s passage he gives us an example of how our younger generation reacts without technology. “Like all teens, my friend’s daughter tested the limits of her parents’ restrictions. For some infraction or another, they grounded her. And to reinforce the seriousness of her misconduct, they took away her mobile phone. Immediately the girl became physically sick. Faint, nauseous, and so ill she couldn’t get out of bed. It was as if her parents had amputated a limb. And in a way they had. Our creations are now inseparable from us.”
