Randy Cohen wrote When Texting Is Wrong and published it in The New York Times on July 13, 2009. The article talks about how no one ever agreed to the new age of technology that fell upon the world but instead adapted to it. This is in fact what has happened to the world. Technology has taken over, and people of all ages have had to adapt to the new time period that we have fallen in; however, not all are very fond of the era. It is evident in society that younger and older generations have differing views on technology, cell phones especially. While the younger generation is fine with the world being taken over by computers and cell phones, the older generation is a little more apprehensive about it. Although Cohen is not anti-texting or anti-technology, he explains to parents and bosses, or people of influence, that new manners need to be introduced in everyday life (at home and at work ) as an effort to reduce the impact of emerging technology.

In the article “2b or not 2b”, David Crystal begins with discussing how others such as John Humphry argued that texters are “vandals who are doing to our language what Genghis Khan did to his neighbors 800 years ago. They are destroying it” (335). This is also the common belief of most people. People often argue about the bad points of technology over our language. However, Crystal believes that texting can improve children’s ability to read and write rather than hinder their literacy as many people claim. He also argues that not all texting are done in abbreviated words. Complex messages and institutional messages are often texted in standard form of

“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

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

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

We are continuously interacting with other people. In the health and social care setting we are continually interacting with all age groups from young to old, from various diverse backgrounds and from different nationalities. It is therefore important that we are able to interact with all of these groups of people so that they clearly understand what is expected of the health care provider and what is going to happen to them as a service user. Group communication refers to communication between 3 or more individuals. Example; a student working in a local day centre with service users who have learning difficulties and the care staff manager organising a meeting for all students and staff to attend to sort work training opportunities.

“2b or Not 2b” exemplifies that texting is just another form of communication and the language used in text messaging will not destroy our standard language because of the use of history of abbreviations, promotion of creativity and the studies that show higher test

As time goes on, everything that we do in life modernises alongside us. Many people hold the opinion that ‘old fashioned’ methods of language use were more caring and creative, and that modern technology allows us to simply be ‘lazy’. However by looking at examples of texting, and/or web-based interaction, I will be able to show that modern language use can too be very creative.

The subject of how technology is changing written English is a touchy subject; many people believe that our current technology is allowing us to become lazy. Text messaging being the ultimate reason we are taking so many short cuts when it comes to writing proper English. There are so many abbreviated words and meanings in text messaging, I sometimes find myself confused when I receive messages from people that I have to google what they are trying to say. I don’t want to respond and assume I know what they are trying say.

Since the technological phenomenon towards the end of the 20th century, text messaging has been widely used by cellphone users, specifically teenagers, in order to get their conversations across easier and quicker in a very convenient way. In the modern technology world, people have become so accustomed to the idea of

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.

No longer are today 's young people typing complete sentences, but they 're "shorting" their messages. Sometimes the goal is to confuse parents, most often, they 're sending so many text messages that it 's unrealistic to believe they could type out proper sentences with proper grammar and proper noun and verb usage.

Many will argue that children and teens especially will not know when to use “textisms,” and that texting is only a distraction to learning. That they cannot differentiate between the important messages where formality is key, and the times where they are not being judged or critiqued on every spelling and grammar mistake. This is a common misconception, as a 2006 study by two professors at Coventry University in Britain found that teen students seem to switch easily between text messaging and Standard English. This is most likely because that generation was not introduced to texting speak while they were learning the English language taught in pre school and elementary school. Although
