Have you ever seen a family sitting at a restaurant and every member is texting or reading on their cell phone? Computer Technology has advanced over the past few years. We have a phone that is portable and able to go anywhere with us. Every member of the family has their own cell phone. These cell phones have multiple applications that are able to be done simultaneously. This advance in technology has also created a generation that is unable to spell correctly or even write correctly because of the abbreviations associated with texting. This generation isn't able to sit together and have a family dinner without holding their cell phone. It is very easy to respond to an email in text language but it isn't proper etiquette. It is becoming harder and harder for English teachers to teach the English language and proper spelling, grammar and sentence rules because students are exposed to abbreviations and texting from the time they are old enough to write and spell. Our generation is losing the ability to be able to write a paragraph or story in complete sentences. Our generation is losing the family values that come along with sitting down for dinner at night and talking about their day.
