texting

Texting is one of the most influencial new forms of communication technology. It has changed the way we communicate. Complete sentances are a thing of the past. We have learned to express ourselves in 150 characters or less, abbreviating sentances or even words when necessary. A whole new type of sort hand has developed consisting of "lol" and "btw" and other things that enable people to express themselves quickly. Texting has changed the frequency of communication between people but perhaps deminished the content. For example you might text your parents everyday but only have a substantial conversation with them once every few weeks. With the development of businesses like Twitter businesses can text message clients with deals. Airlines text flight information to fliers. It is a whole new way for businesses to reach clients and get instant feedback. Texting can also happen anywhere you go. Forget waiting for someone to call you back after class or not getting the e-mail until you sit down at your computer. Texting happens eveywhere. It is changing the way we communicate by allowing people to be in contact 24/7 and relay information within seconds.
