Kirsten G on 21 Nov 10Lloyd, Bob. "The Effects of Instant Messaging on Traditional Literacy." Helium. Web. 21 Nov. 2010. Research was done on kids habits of instant messaging and the effects it had on their normal or traditional way of reading and writing. Kids that instant messaged wrote less than kids that did not instant message. A good point was made about how instant messaging is just like writing normal words but leaving out vowels and just using letters that make sounds similar to the words they are tying to write. Technology has given the use for more opportunities involving text messaging and instant messaging.
