Summary | Craig Federighi claimed that the chidren of tomorrow won't be know how to write with words anymore. The problem does not only lie in the use of abbreviations, but also in the rise of emojis. Now, if you text someone, you can substitue words with emojis. It seems that using emojis in our conversations is a very efficient way to communicate.

Summary | A study in France demonstrated that text message characteristics have no impact on spelling skills. If you child texts using a lot of emoticons to replace words, or mispells certain words, it doesn't mean he or she is going to make more spelling mistakes in a writing assignment. He or she might even master spelling rules better than someone who doesn't text. Young people play with language and know when it is appropriate or not to use text message characteristics. However, some people disagree and think that texting can have a negative impact on spelling skills, the Spanish language, and calligraphy.
