I am more concerned with what communication via text message and online social networks is doing to the "me generation's" problem solving abilities, reading comprehension and critical thinking skills.

Want an interesting read go out and get this book by Mark Bauerlein titled:
The Dumbest Generation
How the digital age stupefies young Americans and jeopardizes our future
OR
Don't trust anyone under 30.


Not sure if you read my other post further up but there is already a book out on exactly this:

THE DUMBEST GENERATION
