“Texting: the gr8 db8” by Marcus Berkman, this is a great article that is about the typical debate on some people thinking that texting is going to keep people from writing sentances and words the way they were meant to be, the proper way. But now and days there is plenty of people who do know the proper way of writing a sentence or the proper way on spelling a word ,but they still shorthand a sentence or word when they text it. But shorthand writing has been around since years ago and there wasn’t a problem then. Business men and women or people with the best of knowledge text and spell things the way they want to when texting. As said in this article people mainly hear only one side of the story and that usually is just the negative, that’s why I personally dissagree on the bad things people have to say about texting. “Reading,Writing, iPhoning” by Elizabeth Woyke, this atricle is about students being given apple products such as the iPhone and seeing how they benefit rom it. One school is actually promoting it as a mobile learning initiative. They say that these devices will give quick access to important information like local maps and acadeic calenders. Students will also have to pay for their iphone to AT&T every month and students who leave before the term is over have to pay. Even though theres the idea of that maybestudents will not learn with this device as a distraction or maybe they won’t be listening to their teachers. Their positive outlook is more better then the negatives. They also made plently of applications to fit for the class like word clouds,student pilots are going to be given these iphones to pin point places while in air, and they are also trying to devlop a panic button on the iphones so it can have the exact location on the person.
