Summary | It is interesting to watch children develop a texting personality. As they grow up with new media, they use them quite naturally. They easily incorporate emojis, use audio messages, or share YouTube videos. Texting humor is also learned quite automatically.

Summary | Facebook has recently followed the footsteps of other large companies and implemented a chatbot in its messenger. Chatbots as conversational user interfaces are increasingly popular because smartphone users are reported to grow tired of having to download so many different apps. By enriching a social media service such as Facebook with a chatbot, users can enquire about things (e.g the weather) without changing platforms and using a mode that is familiar and comfortable for users: casual texting. The article however criticizes that chatbot technology is not very advanced and that it does not resemble human interaction yet.
