Yesterday in class we discussed some articles that were really interesting, one was " Texting The Gr8 Db8" that's been a problem for quite a while. People these days text instead of having a normal conversation, about more 50 percent of the people these days text to someone other than have a normal conversation. Texting messes us up, by giving us bad grammar problems and making us be lazy, I think its up to the people to text in a bad grammar way because i text normally with the right grammar so its just up to the person. People say that texting is just a faze and that we will get over it but I really dont see the bad in texting its just something we like just like, the Beatles, Disco Era, I mean it's what people are doing Im not saying we are followers its just that this is what people are doing now. Texting has increased so much i remember in middle school we didnt text that much and that was like 7 years ago. Now people text for everything, even elementary kids text, thats how much this has grown.
Another article we read was " Reading , Writing , Iphoning ", this article was about the evolution this world has come too, like before ( we still do ) we used a pen/ pencil to write something such as a letter, essay , note etc., but now we use technology we use our iphone or smart phone. Iphoning has gone to the extreme, some schools are giving free iphones and laptops just by going to their school, they know people this age like those things and would do anything. They have created a bunch of apps just to improve life and even in schools, so they are not that bad a people say they are.
