Indeed. The Internet has opened the news to Everyman.
The kind of people who get sucked into narcissism or pornography with technology would find other forms of expressing their character defects without it.
BTW, word processing is a gift from God, as far as I'm concerned.
As one formally educated in the use of a typewriter, I would have to concur. In my first job, each document typed included 5 onion skin papers, separated by carbon papers. If one mistake was made, the entire document was tossed and the process began anew. Hence, emphasis was placed on one's ability to type without error. Of course, once someone announced that no mistakes could be made, a mistake took place and the document was tossed.
The problem with word processing, however, is the introduction of spelling and grammar checkers. No need to describe how these systems fail; simply look to the web or your local newspaper for examples. Automation cannot distinguish between "to, too, and two" or "thru and through". The nuns taught us our grammar and I have never forgotten it. When working with word processing software, I turn off the spelling and grammar checkers.
