New Language?

There are plenty of new technologies coming out every day, always expanding what we know and how we interact with each other. But it begs the question: How is social technology affecting interpersonal skills among adolescents? In a world where people tweet every time they have a thought, update their Facebook statuses at least three times a day, and are in constant communication with their peers via text messaging, it's impossible not to wonder how this is changing the landscape of communication as the world has seen it. Will adolescents even have the ability to talk face-to-face with someone? Will they be able to write a paper with proper grammar and English? The only real way to know is to research various different sources and then maybe even do some investigating by researching and observing the interactions of adolescents.
