Journal Entry # 3

 English, being my second language is quiet a challenge. Ever since I came to this country, I have tried to accustom, especially to the writing. For me, texting, had interfere with my academic writing in a positive way, what I mean by this, is the learning of new words, and get used to of how to write them. I have seen on my conversations via text, a lot grammar errors, or abbreviations. However, in my curiosity, I search for the meaning and spelling of unknown words.

Cullington's findings I do think represents some of my writing experiences. First of all, in today's world a key way of communication is texting, young people, or adults like me tends to use this method to communicate. But, honestly most of this (textspeak) stated in the article, I think happens between close friends, or relatives. And, in these cases Cullington is right about mistakes or abbreviations in mine, and/or our writings. This, is my understanding of how Cullington's research reflects, not only on me, but in many other people.

What it is interesting is the fact that we received notifications when our packages were dropped in the lobby.   At the beginning we the tenants were promised to be safe and feel secured within Shore Haven buildings and surroundings. Thankfully, we are safe and secured. However, we can’t say the same thing when talking about our properties delivered by third parties. We have ordered different things from very little value to a lot of value. Especially medicines, electronic devices, or even some clothing.   Some steps can be taken in order to resolved this matter.

Journal Entry # 6

  Technology is everything around us, it helps us do our task easier. Also, to me is artificial intelligence. I think technology inhibits learning because during this time students tend to use technology to accomplish homework, to resolve math-related problems without putting your brain to work, before technology most was done by just using your own mind.  Examples from the text are, "Mr. Campbell goes to sleep with a laptop or phone on his chest. For me, this issue is no good for health, some studies suggest electronic devices can cause illness if not place at a safe distance when sleeping.
