In today’s society, digital technology became an important part of our daily lives. Advanced technologies such as smart phones, improved the connection and engagement with people around the world, and easily accessed information throughout the internet. However, many critics argued that these technology are causing negative influences among teenagers; for instances, many pointed out that texting affect the way we think and write, in which I strongly disagreed. There are no connection or comparison among texting and writing.

Through the years technology has been evolving increasingly, from flip phones to smartphones to watches used as phones, type writers to laptops to touch screen laptops and radios to basic televisions to big screens to flat screens and on to smart screens. Growing up, I would often spend time watching many hours of television. As a teenager, I also would begin spending more time on phone; talking, texting and video chatting. In today the world, the internet is highly influential, and is filled with a plethora of information about many things. For a long time, phones and the internet have become very problematic because of the lack of communication. Because technology may have a negative effect, it can lead to an overload from the media, to phones hindering writing skills and online communication can affect face to face communication.

We carry our cellphones with us at all times, and with all this online connection, you would think that stepping back and disconnecting is a huge achievement. But this is a new way of life. Nathan Jurgenson, in his article “The IRL Fetish” says, “We have come to understand more and more of our lives through the logic of digital connection. Social media is more than something we log onto; it’s something we carry within us. We can’t log off.”. He explains how we are so deeply connected with technology that it is nearly impossible to stay ‘old-fashioned’. We are learning to accept technological advancements because they are inevitable. In other words, to adapt to this new form of literacy is much easier than avoiding it. In recognition that texting truly is literacy, one English teacher had her students put excerpts of Richard III into “text speak” to show that they fully understand the material. Educators are embracing texting as a new form of learning because it clearly is not going away. Students enjoy texting as a way to escape reality and fail to recognize the literary benefits. Texting will continue to encourage students to read and write as well as improve spelling with phonological

We would use our cell phones, text, e-mail, and similar gadgets are marketed, purchased and used athe promise that these machine, like the cereal, will save time.

With our cell phones we are able to text messages quickly and effecticely by abbreviating words, such as laugh out loud (lol) or 6y for sexy. This weakens our skills to communicate. According to my English professor Elias. It also limits our

This was a huge advance in technology, as it allowed users an entirely different and new way for people to share videos globally. A year on, Facebook and Twitter were introduced, and are still the most popular social networking websites.

New media has been easily made available everywhere and Facebook in particular as one of the world most popular social networking site (SNS) can be made accessible from desktops, laptops, smartphones and tablet because of this, almost everybody can have access to Facebook anywhere they go. For the most reason, due to the introduction of new media, Facebook plays a key role communication and staying in touch with families, friends, acquaintances, businesses, groups meetings and a whole lot of others.

In “No Need to Call”, Sherry Turkle observes the text messages, instant messages and emails and looks closely at the benefits and the effects of them. In addition, she observes the digital media, overwhelmed across the generations and less wanting to hear voices. However, she starts by making a point which is that phone calls have been replaced by text messages, instant messages and emails.

In recent years, technology and social media has caused controversy over our face to face communication and even our thoughts. People generally think that technology is all beneficial, but others think that it has some negatives. One person who thinks that technology is beneficial is freelance journalist Clive Thompson. In his 2013 article “Teenagers and Social Networking—It Might Actually Be Good for Them,” Thompson reminds the reader that technology doesn’t decrease face to face communication. He notes that humans should have self-control over technology.

This generation has experienced significant advancement in the technological world. It is a platform of which communication has become more efficient, specifically through text messaging. As technology and efficiency have advanced, so have the language ideologies surrounding them. Adult speakers of the English language have formed the ideology that text messaging are ruining the language. Texting and instant messaging are not directly influencing literacy, in fact, they introduce a new kind of literacy. From Variation to Heteroglossia in the Study of Computer-Mediated Discourse by Jannis Androutsopoulos, Always On : Language in an Online and Mobile World by Naomi S. Baron, From Statistical Panic to Moral Panic: The Metadiscursive Construction and Popular Exaggeration of New Media Language in the Print Media by Crispin Thurlow, Undergraduates ' Text Messaging Language And Literacy Skills by Abbie Grace, The Effects Of Text Messaging And Instant Messaging On Literacy by Lieke Verheijen, and Beverly Plester, Nengah Kemp, and Clare Woods’, Text Messaging and Literacy – The Evidence all make clear that this is a prevalent language ideology used to control the discourse of the English language.

Text messaging creates a craze in a specific way of using communication in writing and in speech. It establishes lingos that should not be used in one’s academic life.

There are two types of media, and each type has his way to broadcast the information. “These two types are traditional and-social” (Hayles K., 2004). Traditional media includes: radio, magazines, newspapers, television, different publications and so on. Social media is the process of the informational interchange. In recent years, social media became part of everybody’s life. People exchange the information, opinions, news everywhere: in blogs, social networks, forums, etc. People became sources to each other.

Social media is quickly evolving in front of our eyes and it is almost impossible to reject and hide from this new form of media. Not only is it an important part of socialization within peer groups but now it is used to market and motivate people to become a part of a larger community. It is undeniably changing the way one communicates and how one finds and shares information. Most websites offer communication through the use of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn and many various blog formats.

Through these new advances in technology one can share things

Prior to new media evolution, people were extremely limited in interaction with each other and were restricted largely to the people that they knew in-person. Development of new media, especially the social media changes the way people engage, how they communicate and share ideas, entertain themselves down to the way they think. In a tremendously short period of time, new media have accelerated the culture people are living in and transformed the way, in which people live, work and play. One of the biggest changes new media causes in the way that people interact is that it allows information to move at a rapid pace. This has opened-up opportunity to share opinions with a far wider audience and get a message out to thousands or even millions of people uncensored. So, today, people are inundated with a daily deluge of content and anyone can be a powerful source of influence. New media has empowered people to have a voice and a chance to be heard as much or as little as they want. Thus, it has significantly redefined relationships among people and has forever changed the way people do business.
