Text Messaging and Mobile Technology
AYT = are you there, texting what is this phenomenon that is taking over the world on our mobiles. I use it but not to the extent of which it can be used. There are online dictionaries, schools are letting Students use texting jargon in Exams and marking on it. What is the world coming too or I am turning into a Nana and needing to jump on this bandwagon.
It seems a Teenage thing to do, know the jargon or get left behind, not cool if you don't know what it means. Recently a friend received a message with .{}. what does this mean, we figured it was kiss each cheek, LOL. or was it YABA = Another Bloody Acronym. New txt message meanings are created daily - who is doing this. Do companies use this sort of messaging. They do Big corporations use it, their staff know the meanings. I thought that texting was meant for creating short and meaningful messages from your mobile but think again this is a technology that is literally taking over the world. Ha I hear you say, I wont use it, well be prepared to be left behind it is here and here to stay.
Another technology for the good old mobile phone is the push to talk, a walkie talkie system, cost effect and efficient within a certain radius, if you are out of the zone then you can use your mobile the good old fashioned way by phoning or texting. Farmers are using this on their acres of land to keep in touch with their staff and building companies are using them on sites, push to talk is instantaneous and eliminates the time consuming task of texting or pushing a number into a phone.
Wireless devices are efficient and allows the user with the services such as bluetooth to be available where ever and what ever they are doing - even in the loo if need be. No hands needed, staff are accessible and available all the time.
Businesses seem to be embracing these effective ways to communicate, saving them time and money, even staff it seems.
I have to end this post with a message - work it out ..
