  This was a very interesting and actually decently fun read about a commonly talked about idea of whether or not social media, I.e. Facebook, Twitter, Txt messaging and even email is going to destroy the art of writing all together, turning the world into impotent humans with no communication skills. Okay so I am obviously exaggerating a little bit but I just cannot help to speak in hyperbole when thinking about the fact that others think this way. If anything social media is forcing us to write more than we ever would have before, which is a point this article and I agree upon. But the article does provide a fairly unbiased position on the problem and for that, I was glad to have chosen it, it caused me think about both sides of the coin, thus further supporting my position on the matter.
