Pew: Writing, Technology and Teens
http://blog.mobilevoter.org/ 2008/ 05/ pew-writing-tec.html
Fascinating survey data out from Pew about teens and writing. The gist of it is that teens are writing a lot more than their parents - text messages, social networking messages, and IM - but that they don't consider this kind of writing as "real writing." It's more like an expression - a verbal expression - than what they conceive of as the stuff they do for homework. This topic is fascinating to me in light of a recent book I've read called the Alphabet Versus the Goddess, by Leonard Shlain.
