Texting affects us all...

Texting is a good way to communicate with other people when we are not able to speak out loud. Phones before texting was popular were made for calling, being both light and small, it was very portable. Now a day, we use the computer to text for communication. Our phones have grown larger with more accessories every generation. The blackberry phone, for example, is a company that created these phones that can go on the internet, act like an instant messaging application and call. These phones are controlling our talking ability. We are using acronym for words that are already easy to spell. We created a new generation where we are too lazy to type full words, instead, we use these shortened versions.
I believe that it is quite rude to text while someone is talking. One reason for it being impolite is due to the fact that the person texting has to continue to type and listen to you. If their good friend texts them, you left the other friend waiting until you finished your text.
If we were to have 5 rules for texting, it would be pretty simple to create these rules. First off, the first rules should be “Do not use your phones unless you have no other way to contact him/her” This means that we should not text if they see each other very often and would not be gone for a long time before seeing them again.
Another rule to be added is “You may only text __ number of texts in school this month” This rule varies because it gives the school freedom to choose how many texts each student can text while on school property. After that limit, the student would not get any network to continue to text their friends.
The third rule that should be added is “All people who do not own a phone can have a chance to win a second chance if they fail a test.” This allows people who don’t have a phone to have a better chance of success. With people on the phone, they can share questions and answers with each other. The person without the phone will have difficulty finding help from peers who are somewhere else.
The fourth rule should be “Everyone found texting during class will have their phone confiscated and have them attend an afternoon session with them.” This makes sure that all kids are not distracted and will pay more attention to the teacher than to the phone.
The fifth and final rule that I would make is “allow teachers to see what you are doing if they see you with your phone”. This allows the teachers to see if what the students are doing is relevant to the topic taught by the teacher. If the student was to refuse, they would need a good reason to not show. If not a good reason, they would need to show them the screen.
