1,195 words (approx. 4.8 pages) | 2 sources | 2002 Ireland


Paper Summary:

This paper takes a look at the new phenomenon of text messages on cellular phones especially as they relate to teenage culture.

From the Paper:

"The negative effects of the mobile phone are also becoming evident with regard to teenagers, the champion texters. There is some concern within the teaching profession that literacy skills are being lost, as vowels and grammar are ignored. While parents share these fears, they are encouraged by suggestions that text messaging may be safer than voice calls, as the mobile is not held close to the head when writing, sending or receiving SMS."

I am currently in school in Ireland, studying Physics, French and English, but I received 9As and 1B in the national state exam last year, in which most candidates take 7 subjects.
