Because of obesity mainly.
Peoples fingers are so fat now that rather than typing, the best they can hope for is to mash the keyboard and pray that something meaningful results. This is charactierised by the words they type being composed of letters that are in close proximity to the intended letter on the keyboard, for example duck. It also expalins the predilection for giving short seemingly pithy replies, the longer answers are too tiring to mash, and the thought of all that mash makes them hungry, so they have to stop mashing in order to eat another bowl of fries - a vicious circle indeed.  |
PWNED!

I am in no way down with the whole child abuse motif. Not even remotely funny.

I'm pretty sure it was just a typo that caught on, though.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

It's just a typo that became a new word. Like "teh".
Pronunciation is either "owned" or "poned", depending on your preference.

 The general theme seems to be babies and young children.
