In Katie Hafner's “Texting May be Taking a Toll”, she elucidates how teenagers are focusing on what is happening on their phones rather than what matters most.The first point the author is trying to make is teenagers texting too much which is causing distractions, failing grades, and sleep deprivation throughout the day. The author states, physicians and psychologists worry “... it is leading to anxiety, distraction in school, falling grades, repetitive stress injury and sleep deprivation”(1).

Katie Hafner's Article “Texting May Be Taking a Toll” confronts the growing issue of texting and how it is damaging to the health, development, and mindset of teens growing into adults. The first problem she talks about is to prove that scientist say texting is bad for sleep deprivation and the development of teens. Hafner acknowledges that texting “might be causing a shift in the way adolescents develop” (1), while she also is describing how texting is bad for sleep deprivation in teens. She was saying it is “going to cause sleep issues in an age group that’s already plagued with sleep issues” (1).
Kate Hafner’s article, “Texting May Be Taking a Toll” claims that texting is an issue to teenagers around the world. As an illustration, Hafner starts the article by identifying that teenagers send a drastic amount of texts in their everyday lives. according to the Nielsen Company, “American teenagers sent and received an average of 2,272 text messages per month in the fourth quarter of 2008”(1). This is just one of the examples of many that portrays teenagers around the world send many text messages. Along with teenagers sending many texts a day, hafner also shows in this article that texting is affecting teenager's life in many different ways for example, preventing teenagers' way of becoming independent. Just as professor Turkle presented,
Did texting change the world we live in today for better and for worse? It has its ups and downs just like any invention created by the mankind and its pros and cons vary just like opinions and beliefs of every human being. The world’s first text message “Merry Christmas" sent by Neil Papworth in 1992 has brought a significant impact on our daily lives and they have not been the same since. The purpose of text messaging and its effect on people varies but is not limited to be known as an announcement maker, relationship breaker, fundraising tool, cry for help, implication of one’s boredom or craziness and admissibility as evidence. Text messages and their admissibility as evidence can play a major role in one’s trial; such evidence can help acquit the accused or prove their guilty nature. There a lot of factors that can contribute to inadmissibility of such evidence when it has violated one’s rights, sent by error, without consent, anonymous and part of forgery or fraud. It is important to keep in mind that its authenticity, relevance, consented copies and prejudicial factors would have to be taken into consideration and serve as evidence for both living and the deceased individuals. One of the first factors to be considered for admissibility of any type of evidence is to ensure that the way it has been obtained does not violate any of the Charter Rights and Freedoms. The most common reason for inadmissibility of evidence in regards to the Charter is a violation of its
“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
Would you send your potential boss an email that reads, “R U hiring”? I sure as hell, for your sake, hope not. We may text our colleagues and friends in such a manner but we also know when to switch the tone and grammar to make us seem a little more literate and a little less lazy, for certain occasions. So why do people still think texting, Tweeting and other abbreviated forms of communications are alternating the way we speak? That would be because it is, however, just not for the worst as most people are lead to believe. With the fast growing advances in technology the new generations are forced to accommodate it and by doing so, we’ve had to adapt to the new brevity in the way we communicate also referred to as “textspeak” as David Crystal calls it in his essay “Texting” he says, “its chief feature is rebus abbreviation” (Crystal 2). Abbreviating our language in text has helped us become accustomed to this new brevity, just like the way Twitter is helping, “users connect to people in ways they never could before.” Gary Goshgarian states in his introduction to Peggy Orenstein’s essay “I Tweet, Therefore I Am”. Does this mean that the way we speak and communicate with text and tweets is different from live speech? Some might say it is, they are correct, “…texting has become a preferred method of communication, the English language is being used in new and creative ways”, according to Gary Goshgarian on Kris Axtman’s article, “r u online?”: The Evolving Lexicon of Wired

In the article “Cell Phones are Changing Social Interaction” it states “everyone expects a respond relatively quickly. So when you get a text from your partner, stop what you’re doing and respond. Oh, and if you are slow to respond to young adults, they will get irritated with you more quickly than other adults.” younger people tend to be the ones who use texting in more situations and their everyday lives. This results in them getting into habit of always getting and wanting a quick response back, so when they text their friends they are going to have high expectations of how fast their friends reply should be. If they don’t get the quick response they wanted they will most likely get irritated. It doesn’t only impact friendship it also impact romantic relationships. Most people

Today, from toddler to senior citizen uses phone. The most used applicable applications in phone are the text or SMS. I wonder how many people even know what does SMS stands for.

I agree with Kluger when it comes to this topic, I feel learning how to have a conversation face to face is very important. “I talk to kids and they describe their fear of conversation,” says Turkle. “An 18-year-old I interviewed

Although texting is an easy and convenient way to stay in close connections with family and friends, there are a variety of negative effects. Texting has become a vital social tool in teens’ lives and has been the perfect method of communication among adolescents. However, excessive texting could harm the relationships with family and friends as well. Mobile communication gives teenagers access to their friends 24/7, and this constant accessibility could affect teens greatly, later in their lives. Texting could result in inadequate literacy in some teens and could affect their relationships, as many become reluctant to have face-to-face communication, because they become so used to over-the-phone communication. Excessive texting can lead to problematic situations such as, improper grammatical use, poor school performance, bad sleep habits, and other negative effects on communication skills. Excessive texting could also leave teenagers very vulnerable. Being so used to texting as a form of communication can also lead to the addiction of texting.
