Electronic Writing Experience

The only electronic writing I do is texting, e-mails and Facebook. I text a lot every day because its easier than calling and you can text as many people as you want at the same time. Also, you can text while doing other things, and its kind of hard to have a conversation on the phone while doing other tasks. On Facebook, I use electronic writing by updating my status, writing on someone's wall or commenting on someone's activity on Facebook. Many people use facebook to send out event invitations, where they can talk about the event, like what it is, where its going to be, what time it is... ect. The only time I really use e-mail is for school. I communicate with my professors that way, and you can also communicate with other students that way. E-mail is the main source of communication at Kent State, so you have to know how to write an e-mail. I think that electronic communication is becoming pretty normal for everyone to do. In my opinion it will probably be the only source of communication eventually.

    Ah...multitasking...

    Many educators lament the poor attention spans of your generation, but I think you'll make the workforce more productive (what with your ability to do 37 things simultaneously).

    Electronic mediums are already providing our primary means of interpersonal communication, but I think people need F2F contact as well.
