Invention, in writing studies, has been understood as a “generative system” (Hall, 1976, p. 14, Simonson, 2014) that extends our understanding of a subject rather than solidify its meaning. Investigating insights and theories of invention in digital writing – sometimes referred to as new media – which encompasses advances in computer technologies, examines how texts are created, and the ways in which technology plays a role in identity formation and agency as related forms of invention (Wysocki, 2004). Some of those insights focus on the technologies of writing themselves.
