Writing Electronically
Writing electronically definatly changes the way that people write. People have a greater sense of freedom when they are behind a computer. They are more a little more liberal with what they say than if they were actually writing with a pen and paper. This is definatly the case with social networking sites like Facebook or Myspace. I have seen people getting into rediculous arguments that would have never happend if they had wrote it on paper or were talking about it in person. This is a direct result of them feeling a little more free with their words. So I would definatly agree that electronic writing changes the way we write.

Good point, Alex...the internet does seem to invite a sort of hostility that rarely manifests itself in F2F situations. That freedom can be a good AND bad thing.
