At The Brink Of illiteracy!

Maybe many of us don't realize it yet,
but in about half a century in the future
technology will slap us in the face and
we will come to senses.

In about half a century or less society
will suffer an educational deficiency
larger than the one the United States
has at this point.This educational failure
will not be contributed by psychological
factors but by simple technological influences


that will determine the intelligence of the human mind.

As of today, more than 70% in the United States population
uses a cellphone and about 55% text every single day.

The simple process of texting contributes to the growing
scale of mispellers all around the world.

Texting abbreviation such  as:"def." "dkn," "fml," "lol," "lmao,"
"inter.," "wat u dng," "de/da," "hmu," "ttyl" and many more
promote intensively the idea that americans are unable to
rely on their own language to express themselves.

Although this way of texting language doesn't harmed anyone,
it will set footprints for a future generation to develop a simple
way connect, and express oneself: the texting language.
It is inevitable to stop millions and millions of people from
taking it the easy way and produce words that once didn't
make sense and now is a way of life.

Not only does the texting contributes to our misuse of words and
misspells, but browsing engines like Wikipedia and other
unreliable sources provide a wide amount of information
that is completely incorrect.

If we continue to exhaust our technological resources and use it
as our ticket to appear better, or to lie about knowing
of a subject you are not familiar with, is cheating
your brain with yourself.

Stop texting and take a pen and paper to really
feels how it is to write a nice letter to someone.
