It's so funny to watch curmudgeons seamlessly switch arguments. For decades the argument was "the kids are growing up with TV and videogames; they don't appreciate the value of text and reading and writing will become lost arts; civilization is doomed!". Now it's "the kids spend so much time communicating in writing that they've become agoraphobic; civilization is doomed!". Or its cousin: "The kids communicate entirely through writing, but their spelling isn't the spelling that I want them to use; civilization is doomed!"
