Is Texting helping our Youngsters?

Texting is not a new phenomenon, so it has been used for long time.
But now, with the development of Social Networks, like Facebook, Twitter and especially with the use of mobile phones. These latter are opened to a huge new workd for all society.
But who more use all these new devices are our youngsters. With the use of their mobile phones and thanks to the internet the use of applications like Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, telegram .... is easier for them.
But is with this use when I think if they are using their language in the good way.
The problem is that they have always had something in their hands. They have been playing with videogames, little machines .... with technological games. And now they use the new tecnologies like a new way of communication.
If they use abrebiations or Texting in their way of writing? Are they loosing the vocabulary? or their language?
:) means I am happy
ASAP : As soon as possible
WTF What the fuck ...
Adults can use them but we know in what context we can or we must use them. We know their do and don'ts. But our young society never will know when they have to use the correct language to express theirsleves.
In my humble opinion, I think new technologies are doing more harm than good to this sector of our society.
We can make mistakes, but we must avoid futures mistakes.
We must'n forget that the use of mobile phones with the internet is creating new additiions, sometimes very difficult to control.

But we are living in a new period and I think we have to get used to living with these gadgets, but always trying to boos the good use of our language. 
Keep our language alive!
