Texting and Multi-modal Texts

The video that I watched on texting really opened my eyes. I feel like I have been one of those people that says look at how bad our writing has gotten because people always text and do not care about spelling, punctuation, etc... The important tings I learned from the video is texting is not the decline of the use of writing. It made me realize that texting is not writing at all. It is a way we speak which is called fingered speech. We write like we speak. It is not a decline in writing. it is an emerging way of speaking. Speech and our way of writing will always evolve over time.
