I keep being worried that children these days won't be able to write properly, which may lead to not being able to speak nicely, and then have to remember that langauage is evolving all the time and when we look back to English at the beginning of the last century they would be despairing of the way we talk today.

Language is constantly evolving, developing or otherwise! Makes you wonder whether grammar and punctuation as we know it be obsolete in the next century.

Writing is a real challenge for a student nowadays, especially when it comes to writing an essay and term papers. They must spend at least 8 hours a day in order to create a good writing. It must also contain all necessary information that will surely educate the reader. Writing is not just about education but as well as creativity.

I think it's because they won't have to watch out for spelling mistakes, and so they find it more easily to write something. But formal writing shouldn't be unattended, but that's what most of the teens do, and so their writing gets worse, and they also use these informal writing in school, because they think that this is formal spelling anyhow, but it isn't. So I really have to agree with your article.

Good post, I think that the internet is the future. Writing something on paper is the thing of the past. Now you can type it up or text it and get your spelling corrected, save it and file it away all at the same time. Writing almost seems to be pointless.

Why restrict the post to teens ? Just about everyone is writing more informally these days and that applies even to non web types. So we have a ' sign of the times ' which also happens to blend in perfectly with web use. While teens may not consider their web communications to be 'writing' as such, before the web, teens mostly did no writing at all outside of schoolwork, so it's a big writing plus – it got people writing about things which never happened before.

Interesting, the new communication tools (texts, emails, IM, and the newest is twitter) make most of our writing informal. It's not necessarily a bad thing, perhaps it even encourages information flow and exchanges of ideas.
People before Gutenberg probably thinks our writing is so casual too, and that's because paper and ink is so cheap now, and we can easily edit if we don't like what we've just written.
