Texting Toward Utopia
Kids, Writing, and Resistance
Introduction
This book examines the contemporary era where parents complain that children today don''t do their homework because they are distracted by the Internet, texting, and video games.
Texting Toward Utopia
Texting Toward Utopia presents the writings of todays children and develops the argument that this is actually a time of mass literary, in which young people write furiously, albeit often below the adult radar.
Agger's Perspective
Agger argues that where texting replaces textbooks, the writing may be emoticon-laden, slangy, or terse, but it is still profound, as children (and their parents) engage in resistance and write for a better world.
Purpose of the Book
This book is a guide to understanding the meeting point between a new generation of children and new communication technologies.
