writing electronically

Using an electronic medium can change our writing style. When on websites like facebook or myspace we talk completely different than when writing for a class assignment. I wouldn't necessarily blame electronic mediums for our bad grammar when on the internet, but instead blame our casualness when talking to our friends over the internet. I think more mistakes can be made when writing by hand because you don't have the technology to tell you where you messed up. In the same sense writing by hand can be safer as far as saving your work. Overall I don't believe writing electronically effects what you are saying as much as we think. The topic and purpose of what you're writing is what really effects what is being said. You're not going to using the same style when writing to a friend as you will when writing a school paper. I personally am not bothered by either medium, it is all just a question of convenience.
