Analysis Of ' Let 's Just Talk '

When you receive a text, you do not have to respond immediately. This can be beneficial for people who have trouble processing other people talking to them, for people in other countries, and for delicate situations. For people with slow processing, texting means being able to engage in active conversation, without having to keep track of what people are saying and struggling to understand what somebody is saying. This is because texting leaves a list of what somebody is saying, and so instead of misunderstanding someone in casual conversation you have exactly what someone is saying in written word. For people in other countries, it could be 2 am where they are, and noon where the person they’re communicating with is.

“Will We All Speak Emoji Language in a Couple Years” was written by Gretchen McCulloch on August 9, 2015 as a blog post on “Mental Floss”, a site geared towards broadcasting fun facts that ordinary people of today may not be familiar with. In the thesis of this article, McCulloch states that we will not speak in complete emoji language in the years to come because: “…no matter how good you are at emoji…there are some things you just can’t say clearly in any combination of little pictures” (McCulloch). One of the main supporting points used in this article is the recreation of Moby Dick, entitled “Emoji Dick”. McCulloch uses the first and second sentences of Emoji Dick to show that the emoji’s do not create a clear sentence structure and is

Emojis are a big part of our society. Emoji’s should be used, for people to have emotion in written communication. An article published by Los Angeles Times states, “But emojis quickly surpassed emoticon use for two key reasons: There’s a lot more people can communicate with emojis. “I can make an emoji that’s a whale or a penguin,” said Internet language expert Gretchen McCulloch.”I don’t even know how I would do that with emoticons”. McCulloch is saying that he didn’t know how emotion would be like without emojis. And how everyone uses them in everyday life. An article made by Big Think, and written by Orion Jones saying, “Because the tone of a conversation affects how we react, and because physical cues help set tone, emoticons are much

Texting allows us to stay in touch with others in a most efficient way. We type a quick text, hit send, and in a matter of seconds our recipient has our text. Receiving a text is fast, but typing out a clear, concise

Recently, emojis have entered the texting world and has changed the way communication is interpreted. Imagine getting a text and not being able to interpret whether the other person is upset or is joking around with you. As if someone texted you “What the heck?” and you have no idea whether they are angry or laughing about the situation. Which is where emojis are excellent use for communicating when you need to show the emotion you are having when you send a text. In the article, “Should that frown be upside down? Emojis make the meaning clear” by Tracey Lien explains the importance of emojis and how they can make a difference in the way individuals comprehend the message.

Do you think emojis are worth using? I believe that emojis are not harmful to society. Emojis show human emotion. Also, emojis are the closest humans have to a universal language.  Emojis can also cover up humiliating text messages and save time for fast situations. I see them as an asset to communication.  Emoji are not harmful, they are helpful. Whether one likes it or not, emoji is becoming a universal language; the addition of facial expressions and gestures to fast-paced brief messages brings a touch of humanity to the cold and sometimes distant digital message. The very first forms of written communication were images and symbols.  Prehistoric

“Our generation doesn't ring the doorbell. They text or call to say they're outside,” this line is from one of the well-known social networks, Tweeter, which shows how the way of communication has change in this modern life. According to 2013 statistics by Business Insider, in United States alone, smartphone owners aged 18 to 24 send 2,022 texts per month on average — 67 texts on a daily basis — and receive another 1,831 texts (Cocotas). Nowadays, technology such as text messaging has practically replaced traditional face to face communication among the society primarily in young generations because texting allows messages to be sent fast and effortless. In order to quickly type what they are trying to say in text messaging, people are

True communication is beyond words. It's verbal and mental, as well as even physical. Communication is not just about talking; it also includes listening to one another. The value of text messaging is not all negative, but it should be used sparingly. It’s good for the small messages like “What are you doing tonight?” or “How’s it going?” but when it comes to getting to know someone the best approach is face-to-face.

Almost everyday we use emojis, but half the time, people misinterpret them. In the article “Emojis: Just another way to miscommunicate?” by Rochelle Olson, we are informed of the two main reasons behind ‘emoji misconception.’ The first is the way certain companies make their emojis look when they are sent to other types of phone and social media; the second is the way people read and misread emojis. To begin, there are many different tech companies, each company has their own distinct emoticons and so they appear differently on separate platforms. (Olsen, paragraph 2, 6) For example, companies such as Apple or Samsung have their own emojis. When say an Apple phone sends an emoji to a samsung, it appears differently causing mixed emotions. Second,

Texting has many effects. When I think of texting many dangerous and unethical behaviors come to mind. We all know texting has a brief history, many people prefer texting to talking on the phone, and texting has its own problems when misuse. When we are texting communication is lost and is in considered of others and mostly affecting people’s health.

When it came to choosing one form of computer or electronic mediated communication, I decided to go with texting via short messaging system (SMS) due to many reasons with the main reason is because in the generation I live in we are always on our phones

Instant gratification has become the social norm in this generation but is diminishing the quality of communication. Cell phones have changed massively in the past few years, making communication weaken each time cell phones are updated. At first, cell phones were just used for calling. Calling was the only operation that they were capable of and most of the time calling was not even convenient on a cell phone. Although the concept of texting has been out for decades, actual texting became available to all society in 1994 (Turrettini). Texting instantly

Linguist Neil Cohn researches how humans are programmed to use visual communication. In other words, people prefer drawing to convey their point. It's no wonder communicating digitally with emojis is a no-brainer.

The opening of Haag’s article begins with an illustration of an emoticon with exclamation points as the eyes, nose, and mouth. This symbol represents her mistrust of the exclamation point. She visualizes the sad face emoticon that most people are familiar with today, but Haag suggests that the excessive overuse of the exclamation point allows for users to be falsely or unnecessarily emotional. She exclaims, “The exclamation point is used with unprecedented, hyperventilating frequency in correspondence, deployed to soften underlying hostilities or to gin up excitement where no true reason for it suggests itself.” This reasoning leads the entire article’s mood, where the readers are encouraged to think critically about why and how they use exclamation points and emoticons.

People say, "I'll tell you what's wrong with having a conversation. It takes place in real time and you can't control what you're going to say." So that's the bottom line. Texting, email, posting, all of these things let us present the self as we want to
