Txtng the gr8 db8 by Marcus Berkman was basically about the pros and cons about texting. A lot of people are against it but some are for it also I think it challenges the mind. Some think that in our generation some cant read or write proper sentences but are developing repetitive strain injury in their thumbs. Others think its challenges literary skills. Texing is a new kind of communication really. Texting isn’t inventing a new language but adapting and old one. Abbreviations have been around for years its part of the European ludic linguistic tradition. Reading, writing, iphoning by Elizabeth Woyky was about how an iphone is being used more and more in schools. Some universities are giving them away. The schools say the devices will pep up class discussions and give students quick access to important information like local maps and academic calendars .Its not totally free there’s a fee they have to pay to at&t and students who leave school before the end of term have to pay a pro rated fee for the devices. They schools are planning to use the Iphones and touches to take attendance the students will be able to check out there syllabi and course calendars receive alerts. Some teaches may do pod cast ad use instant messaging for online classes. They believe if everyone in a classroom has one or the other it can change they way the lecture comes to us. There are a lot of uses these schools have thought of to make collage life easier. Such as finding the nearest restroom or a panic button if in need of assistance. They will be used for automatic attendance taking by using gps app. I think it’s a great idea if used wisely it can cause a distraction but it may have a lot of helpful uses to having an iphone or itouch incorporated with school.
