The Topic We Read In Class

First and for most, I'd like to say that I totally agree with this article. People of the current day seem to be more impatient in multiple aspects. As far as writing goes, people like to read quickly and easily. This also transfers into the way people structure their sentences. I've read papers in which reading from word to word is a headache. I think this is due to the new age people are so intertwined with. So many acronyms, symbols, and slang to create shortcuts where ever possible degrade one's ability to write a fully developed essay. In a way, the more technologically advanced our society becomes, the less our brains work. Back in the day people knew how to speak eloquently at very young ages. Now, you can find college students writing at 6th grade levels. This can almost deffiniatly be blamed upon technology. Social networks such as Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, chat rooms or texting have caused our generation to become "watered down". At our age, we should be capable of writing very professional papers but due to our need to get things fast, we've cut all the richness out. You can certainly see how our advanced society has so many positives, but with those advantages come disadvantages. The problem is, society hasn't figured out a way to balance the two.
