#1 text for life

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/03/text-messaging-texting-conversation_n_1566408.html

Today we have created a whole new form of communication.  That is our obsession with texting.  It has created a faster, easier, and more convenient way to transfer messages efficiently.  As more and more research come out we seem to be facing some major disadvantages that will soon be coming our way.

I find that for our class purposes, the idea of texting can be beneficial.  For example, a lot of the material that we have been looking at dates back to a whole other communication style.  I think it would be neat to incorporate some of the new ways that we communicate with one another into a final performance.

That final performance can be a Charles Mee influenced act.  With narration of text messages the audience will be informed how everything is intended to be portrayed.  The use of emojis would also be a cool way to express emotions throughout the piece.  Charles Mee is known for not creating strong relationships within the characters and this would be a plus when it comes to texting.  I find that today people steer away from personal phone calls because it is becoming too personal and text messages replace that with an informal typed message.
