Technology has become so present in people’s lives that it drives young adults to text or even talk without using the correct norms. Whenever we think about texting, we think of slangs and having a conversation in our phones. Although it’s part of our lives, technology is still being developed together with humanity. We have all heard people using words in their everyday speech that were mainly created in texting. There are quite contrary opinions about it. Some educators think that anything that can get students to write produces a positive effect; and others see this as growing concern over humanity’s literacy. I believe these people, that see it as a negative aspect to language, can change their way of thinking of this.
