In the age cell phones, text messaging and email communication, what is the
role of formal writing? How do these digital communication methods impact
the writing process?
Personally I think formal writing has gone out the window. People do not care
much about proper grammar or if the words are correctly spelled, they just
want to get their point across as quickly as possible and be on their way. With
society moving in the direction of hurry up or fall behind people are taking
short cuts for everything, sadly writing is one of them.
Now even more people are succumbing to the changing technologies, I heard
we even have a phone with speech to text capabilities. All you do is ‘naturally
speak’ into your phone and it records it as a text message and your done,
then we wonder why are children are not receiving the same kind of education
we did. If I am not mistaking some computers even have that same type of
program, I know mine has the text to speech program. I copy whatever it is I
want read to me then paste it into the program and it reads everything, this
allows me to do other things while my text are being read. If our technology
continues this way we might soon find ourselves forgetting how to do the most
basics of writing.
“It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our
humanity.
