My new focus is on Texting. I am intrigued by this medium of communication...The more people I tell about this exploration the more I hear the phrase I hate texting, when I ask why the response I get is “all those stupid abbreviations.” The more I look into this Idea the more I realize that this is not a new medium for communication but one that is rooted much deeper.
Though I am interested in texts like ROTFLMAO (rolling on the floor laughing my*** off) I am more interested in where it all started. This is my attempt to bridge the gap between modern day texting and short form, as it was once called when my mother learned to use short hand as a secretary in the 60ies.
