I think that researchers study many different areas in English and writing studies. In today's computer age, there are numerous ways that people communicate with each other that have not been studied extensely, because they are the new methods of technology. What I mean by this statement is texting, emails, blogging, twittering, etc. We all write in the English language differently and we communicate to each other in several ways. I don't think that people speak to their boss they way they would to a friend. Researchers need to look at the next generation and compare and contrast the past to the future. An area I would like to research are video games and children. Meaning how children are affected by some of the more violent games, their language or communication skills while playing with others, and why are they so addicted to these games.
