In our viritual community, people still need to have a way of communicating their words and messages. This is done through a keyboard -- texting, email, or online chat. Texting, or text messaging, is a modern colloquial term that refers to the exchange of information between mobile devices, made possible by transmitting messages through cellular networks. Typically, these types of messages are sent using a Short Message Service (SMS), but with the advances in cellular technology and memory, a new Multimedia Message Service (MMS) made it possible to send messages containing images, video, and sound. Email of course is simply messaging sent through an Internet account, and IM the virtual equivalent of texting. more private even than voice (Crystal 2009).
Texting is a global phenomenon, and in some countries (Hong Kong for instance) has replaced voice minutes -- users are literally glued to their text machines, often forming large, complex social networks simply through text. As an industry product, texting is the most widely used of all mobile data services, with at up to 40% of all mobile phone users in the United States send...
In the United States, for instance, the market share for text availability is 98% of purchased cell phones.
Burns, E. And C. Webber. "When Harry met Bella: Fanfiction is all the Rage, but is it Plagiarism or the perfect thing to encourage young writers?" School
School Library Journal 55.8 (2009): 26-9. Print.
Fan fiction is its own world in which fans create stories using characters, setting and events from their favorite books, comics, movies, television or other media. Anything is possible, combining characters like Harry Potter and Luke Skywalker, and more. Sometimes it is dismissed as being poorly written and simply plagiarizing other authors' ideas. However, this article takes a different approach and says that teachers should encourage not only the reading of fan fiction, but also writing and exploring literary techniques using favorite characters. Of course, one must also teach how to vet sources, how not to plagiarize, but more important, accounting to Burns and Webber, is simply getting students to write and explore language.

In Walk, Talk, Cook, Eat: A Guide to Using Sources, author Cynthia Haller focuses on a methodology of helping learners understand that there are different ways of evaluating source material in order to use that material for divergent types of writing. For instance, simply because something is posted on the Internet does not make it correct, simply putting in a generalized search term does not always result in meaningful content. For the modern learner, with literally millions of possibilities for sources, the key is to think of finding source information that produces new meaning- taking from the given material, but moving far beyond the rote and into synthesis, analysis and eventually, a new and creative product. Overall, Haller divides her recommendations into four models for more effective source utilization: 1) Walk -- knowing where sources exist and finding them; 2) Talk -- who are the sources, what is their expertise, their bias, and from what point-of-view do they supply the data? 3) Cook -- How do we process these sources? What ingredients do we use to make a better product (the research paper), and how are the sources combined appropriately? And, 4) Eat -- Taking the sources, internalizing them, adding past knowledge and a critique, and digesting them so that something is new and part of the person (Haller)

This is an edited book containing several articles that surround the phenomenon known as fan fiction. It is meant for a mixed audience -- either interested and intelligent laypersons or scholars in the subject of sociology, anthropology, popular culture or history. Briefly, the book contains articles that try to define and explain fan fiction. For the authors, fan fiction is stories about characters or settings written by fans of the original work, other than the original creator. These works are rarely commissioned or authorized, but appear in fanzines or in what is known as the canonical fictional universe. The works are primarily for a specialized fan audience, with the presumption that the fans have known of the universe in which the works are based. Because of a lack of publishing restrictions, fan fiction is very popular on the Internet, widely shared globally. This would be an ideal text for an introduction to the topic.
