I think the real downfall will be when this text swipe technology rolls out. Then instead of spelling anything you just have to memorise a pattern of swipes for each word (because that is essentially what it is), you dont even need to know how to spell shit!

Thats the problem though. As I am out of practice from spelling on a regular basis the occasion that spell check does not recognize the mess Im trying to type... Im screwed.
