In what ways do you think the PC has destroyed the individual?

[Dean]

I totally disagree.

People have always had good and bad handwriting. My step dad DEFINITELY learned how to write WAY before computers and never really was in to typing until computers. His writing SUCKS. And so does that of a LOT of people that age group.

My handwriting is pretty neat, and I do almost 100% of my written communication on the computer, and have for nearly 15 years or longer. I even take notes in college courses going back to school on my computer or phone.

I think the ABUSE of facebook has probably ruined some friendships, but facebook is just the newest way kids do what they do. The same things happened without the computer.

I think when you blame the computer, its easy to overlook the real causes.

The REAL reason your handwriting sucks is because you didnt practice your letters enough when you were learning how to write as a child. And you still dont today, with or without the computer. I mean, think about it, even if you werent typing all the time, would you be practicing the form of your letters, or just writing down what you write?

Regardless of what your buddy list on facebook is called, what destroy's friendships are people not caring about other people's feelings and fights and so forth.

And before parents played games on facebook all day, they watched soap operas all day. And before soap operas, they sat around and talked in their women's social groups. I mean, really.

Stop blaming the technology and start adjusting your own behavior.
