Reflection of my writings

When I think about the research I have found to date on Core 2, I am not surprised with what I have discovered. I feel as if it is common knowledge that our world is in a constant rush. A rush to get ready in the morning, a rush to get to work on time, a rush to get through the checkout line at the grocery store.. So why would rushing through a text message be any different? In our age, with digital literacy on the rise, more and more people are text messaging, and sending short-hand texts at that. My goal in Core 2 was to answer my research question: How much has text messaging affected language the way society is used to it today? Through the use of a few scholarly articles such as "Writing in the Texting Generation" and "A Way with words or Away with words; Effects of Texting and IMing on Language," I was able to obtain research having to do with the relationship between texting and language that helped me to form a an argument I will be able to elaborate on in Core 4.In fact, according to a survey by the Pew Internet and American Life Project, over 64% of all teenage students have admitted that forms of texting and short hand have influenced their academic writing”.

As far as conversation between authors of my Core 2 go, I feel as if they all agree on the notion that there has been an obvious effect on language, which I will go further into detail in my argument of our future core paper. I feel as if I have produced a thorough paper and I do trust my sources because they are conisdered scholarly. Although I feel my argument is strong, my only concern would be possibly finding more sources to set my argument in stone.
