Our lives in texts

Nowadays use see most teenagers with phones, we always see people texting almost everyday. It seems easier to text but the truth is texting cuts off most of our face to face communication. 

In an AVID weekly article by the name of texting away our best manners and memories, Barbara Shelly argues that by sending a text it might be possible someone could regret it, since it go out so the whole world can see it which could be taken the wrong way by many.

By communicating with someone with words in person they can see the tone and emotions in someone's words. In person someone could say as much as they wanted to talk about, and actually express their feelings, while by text someone could say and express  so much that the person reading the text most likely won't understand the actual meaning behind the text.

Even now eight year olds are having phones or tablets, in my opinion it is worse to have technology at such a young age which causes their attention span to someone talking to be shorter since they're almost always on their phone or tablet.

  1. I wonder if you have summarized the article more than you have taken a topic from it and written your own argument. See the difference? P
