The Pleasures of Text (Blog # 6)

Technology has grown dramatically over the past ten years. From computer emails, instant-messaging, cell phone, to text messaging are all forms of communication that most people use everyday. As the communication industry is expanding it is effecting the way we use our language with others. In today's generation I can notice myself the way we speak to one another whether that is coming up with certain verbs to explain something or shorting words.

The way we speak to one another today is mostly a trend. Saying "wad up" or "word" meaning Okay or that's cool. It doesn't so much affect our relationships with family and friends, but after doing so much texting it can get to you when you have to sit down to write a formal paper. I notice these affects while writing in class or writing a paper. We are so used to these because the terminology is short, simple and cuts back on time.
