Is technology making us stupid?

When I was a kid, I actually used a pencil and paper to write letters. I used stamps and an envelope to mail them. I would be so excited to meet the mailman at our mailbox so that I could be the first to check the mail. There were days I was disappointed when nothing came but would be exctatic when I received a response from a pen pal from across the country. Yes, I had a pen pal. Now, we have portable computers called smart phones that fit in the palm of our hand that give us the ability to send a letters electronically. Within minutes, we can receive a response. New expressions have been created because we are to lazy. Why can't we just say 'Laughing to myself quietly' because that is what we are really doing. Instead we say, LOL. Or OMG. Or WTF. Or ROTFLMFAO.

I believe electronic communication is making us lazy and stupid. If Shakespeare knew how far we have fallen, he would be rolling in his grave.
