Literacy and Online Communication

The last Fifteen years has brought huge change to our society in regaurds to online communication. Speaking with people about this subject in the past I have found that this is seen as a positive or a negative thing depending on your age group and generation.
Many people of our generation ages Fifteen, when they start getting cell phones, Facebook and other forms of Social Media all the way up to what I would say someone in their early thirty's would find Literacy and Online Communication to be a positive thing. I believe that people of this age group feel this way because it is what they have grown up around and it is what has keeped them connected to their life out side of their homes for years.
We have come to a point in our society where several people are addicted to their phones because with them you are always attached to the the outside world.
People of older generations like our parents and our grandparents may not see Literacy and Online Communication in the same light, infact many tend to see it as a very negative thing. They grew up in a society where cell phones did not exist and where if you wanted to speak to a person you waited till you next saw them, or would write them letters. Many of our Grandparents feel that online communication has caused corruption in our modern world and strongly dislike the fact that so many younger people are addicted to their phones.

Twitter has become one of the easiest ways to stay connected with our world, you get constant updates from anything you want which is part of the reason why it has become so popular.
