Abstract

With the expansion of technology in the past year’s people are in a bind on what to do. Should they buy the newest technology, or do they keep what they have? With that texting, has come a long way since the first time it came out.  You can now send out a text in a matter of seconds. Students have been using “text slang” in formal writing classes and there are people worried about that. Recent studies have shown that texting has taken an effect on young teens brains when writing a formal paper. It’s not just taking an effect on the writing skills, but also on sleep schedules. Students who may stay up late playing on their phones won’t get the sleep they need. Not only that but students who are on their phone the whole class period may not be paying attention in class.
