2. I believe my writing changes drastically when I'm using an electric medium opposed to when I use a pen and paper. I believe it changes because when I'm writing electronically it's more convenient to leave words and punctuation out to save time when you still get the same point across as you would if all the words and punctuations were there. I have also noticed that when I write electronically I tend to never put G's on the end of words and instead of putting "going" I always put "gonna" instead. When it comes down to it in the end I'm two different people when writing electronically and writing with a pen and paper.

Writing Electronically
1. I have been writing electronically for quite a while now. It all started about the time I entered the 4th grade when I noticed my older sister talking to her friends on AOL Instant Messenger. From about that time on, I haven't stopped interacting with my friends electronically. Over the years I started using different sources such as Facebook, Myspace and Skype. The only time I have ever blogged was in Junior High. My computer teacher made us blog three to four times a week about certain events going on in the school.

Good post, Todd. The shortened/abbreviated words & phrases are changing the way we write, but many people embrace this, arguing (like you) that "you get the same point across."
