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

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...

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.

sms basicaly is sending a shot message not makin the words short neways i would not blame sms alone for this even when we talk online to any one in a messenger or something we do use short cuts n it depends from person to person also i do use such shorts words too but not in ma paper dude neways basicaly a person should c to it that he is more carefull while writin a paper or should stop using them in his or her message its just a habbit that need to be broken .........

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.
