Satire Idea
So I think for my satire I'm gonna write about texting and the whole spelling dilemma. Between t9 on regular phones and the spell check on smart phones, you either don't need to know how to spell, or you understand what other people are saying when they write ahdfhhfa. I know I've made all kind of mistakes when texting...like one time Emy, Carla, and me were trying to make plans for something and I texted Emy, "yeah, carla has aids" instead of "yeah, carla has cheer", because aids and cheer can switch with each other quite easily on t9. That is how rumors get started. And everyone knows when their screen says "duck" or "ducking", they are actually dropping the f bomb. So basically I think my paper is going to be a texting conversation between me and a friend, where nothing actually makes sense, but if you're a fellow texter you will understand.

technology enables people to be dumber basically. good idea.
ReplyDeletehahahhahaha I LOVE. Its a serious problem with the auto-correct. And definitely bring up the point of people who dont even need to know how to spell. I am a seriously obsessive speller, I hate misspelled words but lately ive been finding it harder and harder to remember how to correctly spell words because i only need to know the first few letters and then my phone automatically fills the word in. its bad....
ReplyDeletethis is a great idea. Now a days this is becoming a serious issue. you could also add that once people start texting in abbreviations they start talking that way too. like lol or OMG. people say this stuff like it is an actual word.
ReplyDeleteGood luck
hahahhahah i like it mal.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea. I mean when you look at people's posts on the internet or their text messages, it's clear that a large number of people have no idea how to communicate.
