There has been much debate recently about the pros, cons, and everything in between for this subject. It has even sparked national attention in the form of articles published by two major media outlets. r u online?: The Evolving Lexicon of Wired Teens by Kris Axtman published in The Christian Science Monitor (and reprinted in Gary Goshgarian's Exploring Language) and "Text Generation Gap: U R 2 Old (JK)" by Laura Holson published in The New York Times show the phenomenon of texting from two different viewpoints. While The Christian Science Monitor looks at texting from a teacher's point of view and The New York Times attempts to grasp the parent's point of view, both bring important information to light about the growing fad of Generation IM (instant messaging), but neither of these articles address the view of the generation they are scrutinizing in depth. The teenager's perspective is the most crucial component in this debate and without it a drastic misunderstanding of texting results.Item Sounds of (the) country(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008) Lovewell, AndrewIf you could listen to the sounds of the country, what would it sound like? Andrew Lovewell's audio essay talks about how life in small town America sounds to a local.Item The Evolution of the format for physics of thin films(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008) Brown, ChrisIt is crucial that a scholarly journal develop over time to adapt to the advancing needs and demands of its readers. Every change, though not always drastic, should be an attempt to improve the quality of information provided and expand on research already published. Physics of Thin Films is a highly technical journal that publishes in-depth research in the field of physics, and as with most technical journals, it has experienced many alterations from its original volume in 1963. The overall objective behind the changes in the articles is to provide a clearer and more effective layout, thus giving the audience a better understanding of the information provided.
