We are seeing how the internet and word processing has affected general cognition in terms or reading and writing. Although one may struggle to adapt to create and process information, the creative drive will always be present. The danger of course is the immediacy of digital text, which mitigates the affect one could have among the conclave or others who use digital media (blog) to expound personal opinions and ideas while negating the respect of others. The abundance of text and all information makes it more difficult to cipher that which is meaningful. It is a positive if you know what you are looking for. However, as all technology becomes exploited, a younger generation that sees technology for its convenience nce and not for enrichment will maintain a lifestyle that sees the usage of technology for base purposes. Furthermore as more information is able to be produced, our ability to intake information is becoming more overwhelming.  We can see the necessity to maintain something like a Facebook page requiring a significant amount of information. Activities such as this are retarding the written word. With the abundance of new technology, greater attention need to utilize such technology mitigates meaningful content to be produced.  The genesis of ‘LOL’ has propagated a generation that has become progressively detached from genuine human emotions, that they must use an acronym to express themselves, through an artificial medium. Instead of seeking out new contacts with other people, we retreat to the confines of a 2.5 inch screen, progressively dehumanizing us. This is a general problem with modern life. We have adapted from agrarian life to blogging from an iPad. Is technology impeding on our evolution or is this evolution in of itself. A fear is instead of technology adapting to our needs, we must adapt to technology. With singularity approaching, a change will come that will make the industrial revolution look like a 3^rd grade science project. From a philosophical standpoint, as technology progresses, will we be able to comprehend aesthetics, which inherently makes us human. Referring back to the original topic, writing will become as dehumanizing as binary code. Our desires will become automatic that the need of expression through writing can become a moribund medium. Reading will become more simplified to express only what is necessary. As man is an imperfect being, the benefits or failures of technology for the progression of our civilization remains to be seen.
