Pencils to Pixels

I feel that technology is shaping the future of the way we write, socialize/communicate, and learn.  Just look at our text lingo.  Sentences and words have been turned into acronyms nowadays.  I feel that using word to type up documents or to do assignments enables us to produce longer, quicker, and better products of writing.   Remember when we all had that handwriting class back in elementary school?  Slowly a computer class was brought in and programs like Mavis Beacon teaches typing were presented to us.  I have already taken 2 online courses here at OU so I can see that teaching and learning are already in the technology realm.  I feel that Baron likes the classical, sit down with pen and paper and create masterpieces, but he needs to realize that writing is headed to the technological age.
