I actually have some experience with writing electronically. I personally dont have blog but I do have a Facebook and use email quite often. I also use to use myspace but as we all know Facebook came along and put Myspace in it's place. I dont use Twitter because all my friends are still on Facebook and Twitter really doesnt do anything in my opinion.
I think it does change quite a bit when electronics are used in writing as well as many other things. The reason i believe writing changes when you use elctronics is that people feel they can write more on a pen a paper and on a computer your writings look smaller. Say, for example, that your a high school student and you need to write a 2-page paper. Now if you were writing it on 2 sheets of paper you would have to write the entire 2 pages because most teachers dont have thier students double space writing on paper. Now if you were writing on computer you could type only a page and a half then through double spaceing and seperating the title and your name you now would have what looks to be like a fiully typed 2 page paper. Also many people write faster using a pen and paper rather then a computer and the reason for that is that many people dont know how to type properly.
Good points, Ben. I actually type much faster than I write with a pen.
