SMS culture-good or bad?

[deepakraam]

Today,SMS is the buzz word.while sending the SMS we are briefing the words to the max and we dunt do any punctuations.So the fact is that we are forgetting the punctuation part of a language.Even while writing in papers during Exams we tend to write like we do a SMS.This is not going to help us to learn the language.The ubiquitious use of SMS make people to forget about puncutations.More to it people esp students forget the spelling of certain imp words cos of this SMS culture.So wat to do abt it?

suggest sme solutions.


My take wud be to punctutate the SMS and write the words with the full spelling.Its gng to take a few secs more but your lang will nt deteriorate.

i support ur decision that sms should do justification to the rich literature. But the operators should also lift the word-limit to support the move.

SMS are meant to be used for instant connection or to message some private feelings!! so language formalities can be given leeway to some extent...wat say

[mnd1982]

everything has it's share of advantage and disadvantage so it's up to us how we use something.

SMS is real good tool for communication. sometimes wat happens is u cannot connect to other person`s network, in such a case u can sms it so that the message can be reached. Its very unfortunate that ppl dont understand the power of SMS...

[hemant.k008]

Yaa men.. its really bad. but u know what its just we make asy for ourself..thats y we write in short forms.......
But eventuall we suffer during exams yaar.. Heheheh

[taruun29]

Actually we need to see the other face of the coin as well before deciding whether SMS culture is good or bad.Remember the time when calculators were discovered at that time the teachers said the students will forget how to do the simple addition or multiplication if they continiue to use these devices.You tell me dont you know to two add two numbers without using the calculator.Similarly there was a time when shakespear wrote his novels,you compare the language he used with today's one.It is the need of the time we have to adapt ourseves with new technology & new time.

Hey Deepak, even you have used the short forms of various words like imp, secs and lang. So dude i dont think that SMS is the way to learn the language. It's just a way to express yourself.

[Avinnnnash]

the sms culture is bad we loose our vocabulary and out letter writting skills

If SMS Culture is Bad then All other culture Like Mobile, Mail etc are also Bad. We must move along with the latest trends.

Hey,
I'm not blaming the Technology here.You can use the mail communication and use can very well use the mobile phones with the SMS.All it matters is how you write the SMS or rather you can write a "later" in SMS than writing as "l8r."

[sony2007]

In future may be there would be a complete change in english language. Our future generation would be using short cut methods to communicate. This is a part of evolution.

[adu]

what you meant was right, good example

[shwethaganesh]

Deepak, if u feel the lang is deteriorating people can use dictionary, its just convienience that we use short forms buddy...

[melroy88]

This depends from person to person.Thereare cases where some prof have told me that the juniour college students have been writing their exams in a sms slang language.All sort forms. It should not be made or called a culture.In culture we see things only thats best for us. Using shortforms is appropriate ,thats why we use it.But ...not culture..

[pooja.teku]

noways melory c i know using shortfrom is the appropirate way to send an sms like who has time to write the long words ha
but not in paper i disagree c our papers should be systamatic and imagine a paper full of shortform nahhhhhhhhhhhhhh (imagine the pain that out profs will take to read them)
i still cant understand why u ppl blamin the sms here only neways it is we who use the shorform n not only in sms but now mostly everywhere neways this is just a habbit get out of it

[kadambari_ts]

SMS is one way that youth can express who they are, text messaging is definitely a new way for youth to connect. Many say that text messaging is bad for youth because it disconnects them from social development in the "real" i.e. verbal, sense. However, text messaging is a vehicle that helps youth express themselves in ways they never have before.Its just a mode of communication.....and not the way to learn language

[prachee]

ya i do feel this sms culture is affecting mainly we r doing more grammatical mistakes while writting

[HEART BREAK KID]

well well....whoever said so dat learnin a new language makes u 4get the old ones.....
its totally upon u dude.... its like a fashion trend...u can hate it u can like like it but not escape it....
if u incoporate it in ur life as 2nd language its good....and if it can be used for business meets someday im pretty sure u (or any1 for that matter) wud'nt budge and fret on it and use it without remebering this post u typed for us......

[born2rule]

i think the sms culture is good,,as the woed itself says short message,,,but i think 1 shud know how and where to use these short words...if u r saying tht in paper students use this language so its their mistake,,,they shud hv presence of mind atleast in paper,,they cnt b so absent minded tht they can use short language wherever they wnt..so its all abt the way a person uses it..

[harsh_ambition]

your opinion is as good as mine

[harsh_ambition]

sms is sumtime half and can give incomplete info

[harsh_ambition]

but it is quick n serves the purpose well

[sindhu]

SMS'es r meant to communicate faster...as everything else tis too has its pros n cons... i feel they make communication easier n typin in short forms doesn deteriorate d lang...cos v know d correct spelling of words...call it our laziness or to finish d mes as a single txt mes,v shorten d words..tts it..

[priyaa1]

SMS is a very good and fastest mode of communication.Its all depends on the individual how they use it.

[ankitgokani]

today sms is d best way in management to send quick info anywher to anybody n i don think language is a prob coz its good tht d chat lang is very nice quick n easy ya but i agree smetimes it creates a prob also.............

[dhamodi]

Language used in SMS is going to spoil it.

[beone]

it depends on the situation. but most of the time i don't consider sms as a communication tool and don't bother to read sms messages if i'm dealing with another job.

[pahuja.chirag]

sms is a real good tool for communication. if it comes to difficulty in writing exams, the same form we use in chat also. then in my views if sms is bad then chat is also bad.

[angels_smile]

i support ur decision deepakraam that sms should do justification to the rich literature.
