   reading "OMG", "WTH" or even "STFU"/"FTSU" from non-tech-savy-grandma on my cellphone is absolute ROFL everytime! thanks t-mobile, for proving that old people still can make an ass out of themselves - even if they know they are intentional doing it or not.

   txt

   "Grandma, who could you be texting?"
   "IDK, My BFF Rose"
   
   I have noticed that a lot of people have even started talking that way. I also have noticed that the people who have worked with computers for years have no idea what they are talking about.

   speak vs read

   My parents are drastically opposed to technology, they barely use internet and can't troubleshoot their computers. However, I being the tech savvy person, still never says that stuff in public (any messaging program sure, but not verbally)
   
   I don't think in any of the games I played I ever heard anyone speak it aloud in vent/teamspeak/etc

   Ahem, I think you have made a little logical mistake. Of course, even if the hypothesis is true that parents can more easily communicate with kids using electronic media, this certainly does not appear to be a "good thing" because it is the electronic media in the first place - as the main argument goes - that has rendered normal discussion non feasible.

   Re: I Wonder..

   My niece uses WTF instead of actually using the words. I guess she thinks it'll keep her out of trouble by not saying fu**.

    My family still spends evey holiday together, all the aunts and uncles, neices and nephews, cousins, and that wierd couple that we really don't know how they are related to us. I'm 30 years old, and still get together with my brother, his wife and kid, and my mom and pops at least once a month for a sit down meal, cards, and a beer or two. It's not that electronic media is changing the family dynamic, it's just that sociatel mores are changing and the electronics businesses are capitalizing on the changes. People just don't care as much about family these days. Sad, but true.
