Thesis: These pictures demonstrate that texting has become an issue with lack of communication verbally face to face and also the lack of writing skills.
Text talk has become a major problem in society due to the laziness of not finishing words and sentences but also writing in slang. The first picture demonstrates that a teenage boy is texting in slang. This has caught on to many teenagers that have began to write essays and papers in slang or "text talk". Many children along with many adults talk text. Instead of someone saying, "oh my goodness", instead they say, "OMG". It has gotten to the point where instead of someone laughing at something that is funny and showing their emotions towards that specific incident, they will say LOL. In doing this, it neglects the emotional side of a person and their true feelings.
The second and third pictures demonstrates the point that lack of face to face communication has decreased. Instead of people talking to one another directly they do it through a text message. It proves how technology has advanced and has a major impact on our communication skills. Rarely do we call people on the phone but can easily send them a text. We have become lazy and have decreased in our social skills while technology advances.
These cartoons are very convincing on how technology has enhanced in today's age. it proves the point that people depend on technology more for communication rather than their own skills to communicate. I dont believe that these cartoons are enhancing the problem but revealing the issue at hand.
