LOL, OMG, BRB.... all means something to the common texter. But are these shortcuts affecting the overall written communication when it comes to students and their assignments? It's sad to say, but I think yes. I believe electronic media is a wonderful thing, but it has made kids lazy. It's affecting the way they speak, and write especially at schools across the country. Since we haven't fully gone through this stage and actually had to be cautious when typing out a paper, it doesn't affect us as much. However the younger generation is seeing the ramifications of this electronic media through their education.
