Children from all generations have seldom been known to write, read or communicate in such a manner that it warrants comparison to Virginia Woolf or H.L Mencken. Further, computers themselves and the technology that has followed it are not necessarily what is causing young Americans to lose a vital grasp on the English language. If that were the case, I would have to conclude that those who use a computer, DVD player, iPod, towel warmer, and whatever else must be idiots. The fault should not be placed on what advances civilization, but rather what is responsible for educating its younger members.
