Writing Electronically

1. I have many experiences with writing electronically with IM, e-mail, Facebook and Myspace. I started out in middle school using AIM messenger then i found Myspace which I was on constantly talking to my friends. Now I'm always on Facebook since that is the best way to stay in touch with all of my friends. I also tend to use e-mail a lot more than I used to since college has come. I have used a blog once before in high school for a project I had to do and it wasn't all that bad for my first time using it.

2. I believe that my writing does change when I use electronic medium compared to using pen and paper. When I'm using a computer or texting I always like to keep my responses the shortest I can. So I tend to abbreviate words and not write in complete sentences. But what's wrong with that? I'm just talking to my friends, as long as they can understand me then it's fine. All of this is different when I use a pen and paper because when I write using this I always use the correct grammar and punctuations mainly because it's for school and it counts for something. I find that using a computer makes everything easier because it can get work done so much faster and if you make a mistake you can just hit the backspace button.
