...This Is 100% NOT MINE I TELL YOU YOU FAGGOT Texting me LOL, smiley face, is not a real conversation!! What’s the deal with casting Demi Moore in LOL along side Miley. Seriously what is that movie about??? A spider has its reproductive organs on one of its back legs. LOL. I can’t believe Kristern Stewart cheated on Robert Pattinson this is not anything to LOL about because I love both of them. So Katie Holmes blinded sided Tom Cruise is this really about Scientology or about Tom coming out of the closet? LOL. This thing can get really addictive sometimes someone can just text you and say, “Sleeping at home, LOL”. And I’m thinking why you, Laughing Out Loud? Whenever Julius Malema’s name is mentioned, the sentence probably ends with, LOL. People no longer laugh, they would rather have the computer do it for them, could this be, that the Terminator: The Rise of the machine is a glimpse into the future? Imagine if when you attended stand-up comedy and whenever something funny was said you could just hold up a card that reads “LOL”, how funny would comedians really be? I recently came to the realization that no matter how much you want to succeed, you never will. Maybe if you were a bird you would be a penguin…no matter how much it wants to, it can never fly, LOL. Someone just said something funny, LOL, J…WOW in a world like this, I hate to see how future generations will...

...At about 3 in the afternoon I was emailing my husband to say I wanted to get out of the house a little bit. While doing so, I hear a noise in the chimney that sounds like an animal is in there. Because our fireplace is in the basement, the chimney is right in the middle of the living room. My husband emails back and says there are probably some birds up around the top of the flue. I forget about it. He comes home and we go to the mall. So, we get home pretty late, and I notice the lamps are knocked over. Oh well, we have bad cats, it happens. I sit down to turn on the computer. Dave goes to put Jack's pajamas on. We have a dual reclining sofa, and I kick up the footrest and turn on the laptop. Suddenly I hear this wierd noise. My first thought "Oh my god, the cat is somehow stuck in the sofa and is dying or something." I kick the footrest back down. Noise again. By now I am getting nervous and upset. I start calling the cat. He comes around the side of the sofa, he is filthy and still there is that wierd noise. I start calling my husband to "come right now because I am scared!" At this point I am thinking the noise is the cat's hunting call and that he is making it around whatever the prey *was,* as I am imagining it is alive and is stuck in his throat. My husband fiddles around some more before coming to my aid, and by this point I am on top of another piece of furniture and not going anywhere near the sofa. I scoop up Jack, because surely whatever is going on is going...

...Expository on Change in Communication I often try to comprehend cultural, social, political, moral and other changes that humanity has undergone throughout centuries of its existence and development. To a large extent these changes were caused by technological progress: new inventions often transformed the way of people’s lives and respectively, the norms by which societies lived. Airplanes, cars, computers, mobile communication devices, as well as other technological wonders have reformed the way we think and live. But, what is even more curious, technologies have also metamorphisized the way we communicate. Englishmen have a tradition to talk about the weather when they met an unfamiliar (or even a familiar) person. Japanese people have multiple complex ways to start a conversation politely. Many other nations also had their own rules of etiquette; these rules allowed people to enter the communication process smoothly. However, nowadays we can see that etiquette is rather often neglected in favor of the efficiency of communication. The pace of everyday life has increased dramatically compared even to the middle of the 20th century, and today people have to sacrifice courtesy in favor of productiveness and efficiency (IFResearch). Perhaps, from the viewpoint of a person from the 1950s, we would most likely look like rude and straightforward people, as we have become less concerned about our culture of communication, considering it to be archaic. The time we live in is interesting...

...League of Legends (LoL) is a multiplayer online battle arena video game developed and published by Riot Games for Microsoft Windows[1] and Mac OS X. It is a free-to-play game supported by micro-transactions and inspired by the mod Defense of the Ancients[2] for the video game Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. In League of Legends, players assume the role of a "champion" with unique abilities and battle against a team of other players or computer-controlled champions. In the most popular game modes, the goal is to destroy the opposing team's "nexus", a building which lies at the heart of a base protected by defensive structures. Each League of Legends game is discrete, with all champions starting off each game fairly weak and progressing by accumulating gold and experience over the course of the game.[3] League of Legends was generally well received at release, and it has grown in popularity in the years since. By July 2012, League of Legends was the most played PC game in North America and Europe in terms of the number of hours played.[4] As of January 2014, over 67 million people play League of Legends per month, 27 million per day, and over 7.5 million concurrently during peak hours.[5] League of Legends has a large, active competitive scene. In North America and Europe, Riot Games organizes the League of Legends Championship Series, which consists of 10[6] professional teams in each continent.

...sportsmanship just like the other sports. E-sports also differ from normal game online with regard to the organization. It was held as a real competition sport and the prize for the champion can reach to millions dollars. One well-known e-sports game I played is LOL- League of Legends. In this game, ten people were divided equally into two teams. All you need to do is cooperate with your allies, find a properly strategy, kill the enemies and finally, destroyed the tower’s rivals to achieve the victory. Nevertheless, the most important thing which I like about LOL is that it brings me many kinds of feelings such as disappointment, happiness, excitement… notably the surprise. Then one day, all of these feelings happened to me in the way I had never expected. There was a normal Sunday when I had to meet my friend at a gaming center at 8:00 o’clock. Unfortunately, I was still at home because in the previous night, there was a fantastic movie on TV and I went to bed late and forgot to set the alarm. I got dressed as quick as I could and rushed to the rendezvous. When I got there the time was 10:00. “Oh god, I am late for 2 hours, what the…” I though. My friend-Minh was sitting in the corner. I slowly came to him, sat down, turned on the computer and said: “I am really sorry dude”. He glanced at me and knitted his brows. I could see the depression on his face but he...

...CELL PHONE PARADIGM SHIFT Brandon McNutt Cell phones can provide many services that computers also provide. We can send content to another phone number with a push of a button (texting). These devices in this modern day, allow us to access the mobile web. Mobile phones connect to a wireless communications network through radio waves or through a satellite transmission. The device allows you to write letters without evening touching a piece of paper or a pen/pencil, also known as e-mail. A cell phones option to text someone can have a huge impact on the English language. Phrases abbreviations like ‘oh my gosh’ (OMG) and “laugh out loud’ (LOL) have been added to the dictionary. Texting has gone as far as picture and video messaging. This led to sexting where two or more people exchange sexually explicit material via text message. This application allows us to communicate without having to communicate socially. This device has evolved so much that we no longer have to communicate with each other socially or have to interact with other peers. We can be at a social gathering and be texting someone across the room. Why? Is it faster? Or is it because, it can be much easier to communicate with a person via mobile device. Americans ages 18-29 can average about 88 text messages a day. The numbers vary as the age increases. The postal system that we used to use to communicate to other people isn’t as affective as it used to be. Instead of sending a person a letter...

...In recent years, there has been an extraordinary rise in digital communication, especially through mobile phones and social media; reading the newspaper has become reading a blog, watching the television has become watching YouTube videos. Younger generations have been pretty much born in a world that resolves around sharing and reading content on the web. Digital communication considerably influences the way we speak. But is this good or bad? Multi-modal language is simply any type of commination that isn’t in person, face-to-face. One of the most common forms of multi modal is through social media. Because of it’s popularity, social media is clearly having an impact on language, however there are advantages and disadvantages to the way they influence it. Advantages include that it is usually free, you are able to keep in contact with distant family and friends and make potential friends who have common interests as you. Disadvantages however are that there is legal and ethical issues such as cyberbullying and fraud, people may become addicted and distract themselves from reality and that people rely on social media and lose real life social skills. Majority of the people that use social media are teenagers. There are plenty different language features used in digital communication. They each have different purposes and effects. Emoji’s/Emoticons -- Emoji’s are used to show the overall emotion of the message. Through texting you are not able to see a person’s facial expression...

...Cellular Evolution It is almost impossible to imagine a time when people did not have cell phones. And the interesting fact is that this was not that long ago. Everyone who is over 25 can remember the times when cell phones were still a thing of fantasy and the times when they were considered a luxury. However, as the technology advanced, the cell phones became more and more affordable and nowadays, pretty much everyone has a cell phone with them at all times and pretty much everyone uses their cell phone much more frequently than their old, landline phones. The first major change that the cell phones brought is the fact that you can contact almost everyone you know any time that you want. Before cell phones, if the person was not at home, you simply could not reach them. Sure, you could leave a message on the answering machine, but this did not guarantee that you will get a hold of them in time. And while there are people who think that this is a breach of privacy and that the old way was better, I believe that this is a good thing as it allows friends and family to be able to communicate no matter where they are. Cell phones allow people to organize everything much more easily. For example, there used to be a time when you simply could not change the plans that you made with your friends. You agreed to meet there and then and then it turned out that one of you cannot make it or something like that. And if the others were already out, there was no way to adjust the plans...
