Research Portfolio 9/26/2012

Book #1: Txtng: The Gr8 Db8

Crystal, David, and Inc ebrary. Txtng: The Gr8 Db8. Oxford ; New York: Oxford University Press, 2008. Web. 28th September 2012.

This book looks at the big debate in what texting can do within today's society.  Overall this goes in depth with trying to find out connections between text messaging and the society.
I plan to use this book in my research as guide and an outline to help shape my research, since it is mostly what my research is about.  I plan to use some of this book's examples to help me explain the different effects texting can have on an society.

Book #2: Always On:Language in an Online and Mobile World

Baron, Naomi S. Always On: Language in an Online and Mobile World. Oxford ; New York: Oxford University Press, 2008. Print.

This book is similar to book #1 in that it also goes in depth as to how mobile communication effects the society.  I also plan to use this book in my research as guide and an outline to help shape my research, since it is mostly what I am researching.  I plan to use some of this book's examples to help me explain the different effects texting can have on an society.

(Side note: Both of these books were electronic books so I looked at the description of the books to come up with my summary.)
