I know of many people who were almost totally illiterate before they discovered Facebook, but then, driven by the need to post stuff and participate in the online community, they learned just enough to be somewhat able to do so.

Of course, their level of writing is considered awful by many, but at least they now fall into the semi-literate bag instead of the illiterate one – so they actually took a step forward.

But what if this Facebook culture permeates our next generation families? I mean can you imagine this at dinner:
“Daddy, do you like my new shoes – the ones that mom bought me with your bonus? If you do, please click “Like” on my Facebook. LOL.”
