Is the internet creating a generation of illiterates?

I find that grammar in my typing is only important when it involves business or something formal. Where form and content is important.
Other wise, while talking on irc, or writing emails to friends, or posting to AT, I don't bothing to proof read.
Why would I waste my time having perfect grammar and spelling in a online BBS system? And typing on the net with friends it very informal, and needs not be perfect.
Im not writing a thesis on "hi wassup man".

Actually, I always thought diagramming was rather fun, but it caters to the problem solving side of me.
