texting blog

I agree and disagree. because texting is changing the way everyone communicates and not in the best way. Some people will text someone that is sitting right next to them. But on the other hand texting makes things a lot easier and i agree it is kinda like a new language because old people don't understand the abbreviations and other stuff. But I think there is a very strong argument on both sides. Its kinda like one generation against the other. All the older people think texting and anything involving technology is a bad thing for lots of reasons. While the younger generation grew up in it and really that's all they know and i think that makes a big difference. Because young people have had access to this stuff there whole life and it kinda makes us as a society lazy. Because instead of going to see people anymore we just call them, or some don't even do that anymore some will just send a text. It is changing everything because if you think about it these social media apps and stuff are making people less social. So i do see why the older generation don't like it. But i do see the benefits of it and technology isn't gonna stop its gonna keep growing so i think it is important for everyone as a society to grow with technology.

    Texting is a powerful, but young tool. I think many people, not just kids, don't fully appreciate when it is appropriate to use it versus calling versus talking face to face. I would say face-to-face is always the most effective form of communication, but it isn't always the most practical. The great thing about texting is that, as my Communications textbook put it, it's asynchronous. I can send someone a text about some minor thing and if they're busy, they can ignore it until they have a minute. My wife and her employer would be upset if I called her every minute of the day to ask what she wants for dinner, or just to tell her something funny that happened. With a text, she can just write back to me when she has a minute.
    I'll admit, I ignore some punctuation when I text, but I prefer to use full words and things like commas as much as possible. It's tiresome for me to read texts full of abbreviations, numbers and acronyms. It takes another second or two but chances are if I'm sending a text, it's not so urgent that those couple of seconds are critical.

Worst meal.

I was in Montgomery a few years back. I had never tried Milo's before this. I then decided i would go try it and I would say it was easily the worst food Ive ever had. The burger was dry and the bread was old and almost moldy looking, the french fries were stale and cold you could tell they were not cooked that day. I have never had this experience at any other fast food restaurant.  The food took forever to get and on top of that the drink machine wasn't working right and the drinks tasted watered down. I refused to eat there for years, then a friend dragged me to the one in Calera and it was actually really good. I will never go to the one in Montgomery again it was by far my worst experience at a restaurant. I'm honestly not sure what was going on there because it was just horrible food. I believe a toddler could have made a better meal.

I think that remixing something is okay long as you have permission from the owner. I do not think it is good to steal other peoples work to make your own. To me it seems like you were to lazy to come up with your own idea.

To me creativity is very important. It is how the world stays evolving people create new inventions that keep the world going. If it wasn't for creative people we would be no where. Although if people didn't learn basic skills they would not be able to do a lot of the stuff to be creative. Such as inventions like technology or the car, neither of these inventions could've happened without knowing some basics of mathematics and other things. I think in school they should offer some opportunities for people that would like to take more creative classes for people who have creative minds.
