If we speak in negative terms computers have only made things more vulnerable. For instance the kind of language often used on the internet is informal where slang words are often preferred.

We have become so accustomed to such kind of an informal mode of writing that at times it reflects in the term papers, essays and research papers we write where formal mode of writing is required.
