I watched a little bit of a programme about the 'noughties' and how the world changed blah, blah
One thing that has definitely changed is the way we communicate, I mean just over ten years ago if you were going out to meet a mate you agreed where and when and you made sure you were there. In the last decade mobile comms have changed everything and everyones (maybe leave aside a few cavemen) social behaviour.
Texting and text speak is now (disgustingly) commonly used in everyday written communication like proper emails and letters etc. By proxy I have learned to understand it. Then you have the facebook/myspace on mobiles thing where someone can be in the pub and tell the world how they have just had a banging dump/won the jackie on the fruit machine/downed a beer/fallen over etc etc.
By far though has been the phenomenon of sending explicit images to members of the opposite sex (or same sex depending on how you sway) and I have to say it is something that can really open the eyes.
What I want to know is who out of you degenerates partakes in this and/or what do you make of this mobile communication revelation, because I now think it as normal behaviour and maybe another step in the flirting dance. Could be down to the sort of women I meet though.

i dont speak thankfully how i text or how i write on this board, equally for work i wont send out a letter like it either as it is not professional but is quick and most of the time easy to understand thats y i use it sumtimes on dis forum ( just giving an example )
Sexting i have done before on a couple of times when drunk and found out the next morning too my suprise, didnt go down too bad and can still look at the females and have a normal conversation but not a good idea for anyone who is trying it and not in a relationship with the other perosn
facebook, bit addicted tbh but all the others i dont bother e.g twiiter, myspace & so on
Your right it has changed the way we communicate, well not in front of my eyes but so i hear. but i can imagine although we have got a bit lazier at least ppl are more likely to update you wen running late etc so does have its plus's
How about you have a little respect for everyone else who reads the board and put a bit of effort into typing.
Reading drivel like that is pretty painfull.
Just did the old alta vista favourite: English to Italian and back to English: might make more sense -
interesting thread of lol hardly from old interest like r u Carter: -) I do not speak recognizing like the text about or as I write on this edge, for job I will not send a letter equally l' or l' other since is not professional but they are quickly and generally easy to understand that or y I use it the sumtimes on the tribune of DIS (that he supplies an example) Sexting hardly has made before on a once drunk brace of times and discovery the next morning equally my surprise, is not come down equally Badly and can still examine the females and to have a normal conversation but not a good idea for that is trying it and not in a relationship with l' other perosn facebook, tbh employee of the tip but all the others not troublesome as an example the twiiter, & of the myspace; thus via your right it has changed the sense that we communicate, that we gush not in front of my eyes but so as to I feel. but I can imagine even if we have a little that at least the ppl lazier he is more probable to modernize it wen the operation etc delayed so as to I have relative plus' s
I'll give you the sarcasm benefit of the doubt on 'painful'
A simple mistake and a total lack of effort are two very different things. innit ;-)
As for sexting, thankfully no I've never done it, and that's because I'm a real man and can handle my drink.
hell mate! i did deliberately spell like that for the purpose of that post, i still do sometimes but as i said sometimes if its quicker then i will do it. its not about respect in anyway, i will do it if its easy to understand and if someone doesnt like it they dont have to read it christ!
Sry, mn 1st ltl dst up da mrnng
;o)
lol see i dont write literally like that, my mate texts worse then that so have to call him as cant even understand it, but nice effort oggy i just about got that ;-P
Sorry, Johnny ...... just my attempt at a little humour.
;o)
i know ;o)
Just goes to show how lazy all this technology is making us these days.Whether it being bothered to get off your arse to chat a bird up,venturing out of your front door to go and put a few things in a trolley at your local supermarket,your kids rounding their mates up for a kickaround in the park....the list is endless.It'll end in tears i tell ya!
How the hell could you talk dirty to her when the house phone is in the front room and your mum and dad are sitting there watching Heartbeat!
Never would I send a pic of my old chap to my wife. Not because I don't trust her - but because "big brother" is watching
As for Sexting, that can be very dangerous if you've had a few too many and go to the trough instead of the cubicle, especially as modern phones now flashes on them!
It was last night still for me ;-)
Well used to be ;-)
I have two words for you:
Sky. Remote.
;-)
thats a very good call, i dread checking my sent messages the morning after a heavy night!
If you can put in the effort to type properly at work, why do the users of this board not deserve that level of respect as well?
Answer me this, all you young people .... you speak of 'effort' and 'saving time' and 'it's quicker' with all of this txtspk ...
so watcha gonna do with all that saved time, all that saved effort?
Mmm .. thought so.
Are our lives all so important, with every second filled with 'life and death' moments, that we have to look for shortcuts at every opportunity?
Bring back National Service, I say ... whatever that is.
