Why is the lack of spaces after punctuation becoming a common trend?

No sure if this is funny or sad :(

That's ok: The high school I went to had a banner that said we were "A National School of Excellene"

,speaking of grammar etc

have you guys noticed the increasing trend of late of people not leaving spaces after punctuation marks in their text ?
I see it regularly on PF and other forums

eg. ( just a random bit of text I have altered to show what I am referring to)

How much charge remains in any battery is a complex function of the chemistry of the battery,the ambient temperature,the unloaded terminal voltage,the loaded terminal voltage,and (for NiCd batteries) the charge/discharge history.The only reliable way to "measure" the remaining charge is to know the charge/discharge history of the battery.There are integrated circuits used for battery management that can do this task fairly well for some battery chemistries.For wet-cell lead-acid batteries,the specific gravity of the electrolyte at a known temperature gives a reliable estimate of the charge condition.I really cannot understand what their aversion is to putting spaces after commas and periods ?
