“Facebook presents far more danger than the cultivation of lowercase first-person ‘i’s and emoticons :). The real threat posed by Facebook is not that it ruins writers’ ability to punctuate or encourages them to replace words with pictures. The problem with Facebook is that it nurtures one of writing teachers’ greatest foes — the teenage fantasy that writers write only to themselves and to those who are just like them.”
—An essay by Wheaton College Professor Lisa Lebduska on “The Facebook Mirror” at Inside Higher Ed.
