  • Using devices like spell check are hurting us because it teaches use how not to remember a word, just type in something that looks like it and the answer will pop up. There are tons and tons of words that I have forgotten how to write because of spell check. In the modern age of communicating, texting has become the new fashion.
  • Using phrases like omg, brb, u, r, lmao are making it faster to send a message, but it is slowly making use more illiterate.
  • Also, I feel like students are now negatively influenced by apps such as Twitter and Facebook. I constantly see the misuse of your, you’re, there, their, they’re and so on.

  • The use of texting, spell check and the internet and slowly making us more illiterate and moving use in the opposite derection of what we should be going in.
  • Texting is teaching us how to spell words wrong, and sometimes we can’t spell them right anymore. Shorting words like U and R, are making us illiterate.
  • I (Dan) can say that I have been affected by this because sometimes, when typing, I will abbreviate things or knowingly spell things wrong hoping that spellcheck will fix it for me.
  • A study from CNW’s news team found in Canada in 2010 that 4 in 10 adults struggle with low literacy. Children are at an even larger risk for being illiterate in adulthood because of their access to technology. According to a 2007 survey carried out by the U.K. Government Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF), more than 4 in 5 children ages 5–15 have access to a home computer, and levels of Internet use are at 46% for 5- to 7-year-olds and 75% for 12- to 15-year-olds. Furthermore, children in the12–15 age group reported that use of the Internet was “the most important technology in their lives—more important than television” (DCSF, 2007). Ofcom, 2008, also say that 84% of girls compated to 75% of boys use the internet at least once a week for instant messaging. According to a study, 20% of students never read fiction or nonfiction books, but about 67% surf websites weekly. The study found that 20% of older students attributed their poor writing skills to the fact that they do not write much.

    I agree that technology is making society illiterate. Spell check can be helpful, but it doesn't teach people how to remember that spelling of the word. They quickly change it and move on to the next item that needs fixed without even thinking. I think we depend on technology too much and it is starting to take away from our critical thinking skills.

  • TV and its Negative Impact on Literacy SkillsOverviewTV and Early DevelopmentReading and Brain DevelopmentNegative Effects on Adolescence Social SkillsPreparation for Post-Education EmploymentImpacts on adulthoodVideo: Effect of Television on Young ChildrenSourcesAccording to a study in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent PsychiatryWatching three or more hours of TV a day leads to:Poor homework completionNegative attitudes towards schoolBad gradesPoor performance in college16% of 8th graders and 22% of 12th graders have not mastered basic writing.Only 3% of 8th and 6% of 12th graders read at the "advanced" level.Students are unprepared for more advanced classesChildren who watch more TV are less likely to read.Children who don't read before age 8 are much less likely to start reading later in life.This leaves them unprepared for high amounts of reading and writing in high school and college courses.Students who read show much better grasp of writing skills than those who don't - skills that are necessary for advancement later in higher level classes and in the professional world.Adolescents who watch excessive amounts of TV often lack simple, yet necessary social skills.Passive interaction with TV leads to less interaction with peers and parentsVital social and communicative skills are slow to develop, or never develop at all.Reading and the BrainReading forces the mind to translate words on a page into images in the mind. The brain has to develop its own images and ideas, triggering the development of imagination and creativity. This is called "active participation."TV, on the other hand, requires "passive participation." Television provides images for the brain, removing any need for imagination or creativity and drastically reducing a child's vocabulary, word recognition, and critical-thinking skills.

  • + Negative Aspects of Text Messaging  Text messages have their benefits, but also have negative aspects that can be harmful.  With everyone feeling the need to be extremely connected to their phones today, they often have issues if they do not have their phone with them.  Teenagers are having trouble focusing in school and have even been facing problems focusing in everyday life as they feel the need to be attached to their phone 24/7.
  • + School & Text Messaging  Students today feel that they can often multi-task while doing school work, talking to friends online, and texting.  They do not see that this is affecting their school performance when they do not devote the time to study and focus on their homework for a certain amount of time without constantly being in touch with their friends.  Parents have tried to limit the time that their children can limit their cellular devices, but it is becoming harder as they technology is continuing to grow.
  • Text Messaging & School (cont.)  Constant text messaging has become a concern to doctors & psychologists as they fear that constantly texting is leading to the downfall in school.  Grades, performance, and stress are some of the concerns as teenagers are often putting off projects until the last minute in order to complete them. This is leading to not as good of quality in their projects are worse and they are often unable to complete them fully.

    Great article find! I really agree with what this is saying. Some people get so attached to their cell phones that they can't stay away for more than a minute. I know when I was in high school and even college, I would watch students sit on their phone the entire time or surf the web. I think this takes away from learning and effects their performance.
