Recently there is a huge traffic jam in the entry gate to the industry as its found and perceived to be a very easy and respected industry.

Education industry was not taken to be an industry but a voluntary service in the beginning but now it even provides bright careers to both the customers and the providers. This is the only industry that brings in revenue as well as reverence in the society. Firm in Question : Engineering College ...

...North South University ENG 105.24 Research Paper On Technology In Classroom ( Technology in educating Rural People ) Prepared By: Neha Jajodia ID # 1311448030 Prepared for : MR. Peter Michael Brown ( PMB ) Date : 16th April 2015 Imagine a nation with a population booming with literacy. Where, irrespective of remoteness of village or limitation of seats, every student gets his fair share at educating himself. Sounds like a lot to ask for at this stage. But it's never too late to start trying. Rural education is one field that has been lacking progress in Bangladesh and other third world countries, in general. There are very few schools set up in the rural areas, and as such, students living in remote villages have to walk miles to reach school. Moreover, the scope for higher education is almost negligible. Even within the few schools present in the rural areas, quality of education is usually not up to the mark, with poor infrastructure, absence of proper qualified teachers and other facilities like electricity, etc. This in turn drives more potential students away from school. Attempts to get round this problem have been made by different third world countries in their own ways. Almost all solutions lie in the use of technology. In our neighboring country, India, the government has tried to promote rural education in various ways, like ensuring provision of at least one computer in every school...

...Text Messaging: The Effects on Our Society A Report By: Blake Hogan, Emily Gilbert, Megan Leckington, and Chris Morris 1 Abstract: In today’s day and age, most everyone in our society has and uses a cell phone. Most of those who use cell phones also use the SMS text messaging that these phones feature. This study takes a look at some of the effects and potential problems arising from the use of this text messaging. A survey of students and instructors at Lane Community College found that 70% of those surveyed believed that texting had harmful effects on students writing skills. However, studies that were analyzed found that texting is actually beneficial. While 54% of teenagers text others on a daily basis only 33% of teenagers talk to others face-to-face, yet it is too early in research to draw a conclusion on whether texting is harmful to their social skills. Most people know that text messaging while driving is very dangerous, yet the studies analyzed as well as the surveys conducted show that some people are still willing to take that risk.

Traditional marketing like print ads and mailers are expensive and don’t guarantee any measurable ROI. E-mail marketing is better, cheaper, and definitely has its place. However, only a few percent of e-mails are ever opened, and many of my customers do not want to give out their e-mail addresses for fear of more SPAM. 2. My inability to quote accurate wait times for walk-in and call-ahead parties, while simultaneously ensuring that reservations are seated at the time they requested, during peak hours negatively impacts my customers’ satisfaction. 3. Taking reservations by phone with pen & paper by phone is inefficient, requires that someone is available at all hours of the day (even when we’re closed), and is prone to human error.

...In this essay I will explore whether text based interactions can be described as a creative form of language use. The text that I will analyse is a conversation between friends: I will identify a number of features of the text, comment on their effect and whether they are creative, then discuss some of the public attitudes towards texting. Many of the techniques used in sample have the purpose of engaging the reader; making the text more eye-catching; making the text sound colloquial (like a spoken conversation); adding to the humorous banter-like tone of the text; and injecting an expression of emotion into the writing. One technique used in the text is including slang or words written as they are said. Some examples of this are ‘wazaap?’ (l.1); ‘Who dis?’ (l.2); ‘nah’ (l.9); ‘Waana’ (l.14); ‘Wat abat’ (l.16). The effect of these features is to make the text read like a very informal, spoken conversation between two people who know each other very well. This makes the person reading the text, feel that they can express their thoughts and feelings in a natural, open way, and creates an intimate link between them. The text also uses non-verbal language such as: ‘whoa whoa whoa’ (l.11); tch .hh – yeh - u::h u::h (l.15); ‘Mmhm’ (l.18). The effect of these techniques is to add in spoken sounds that are never written into formal texts. These are sounds that people make when they are speaking directly to one another and are not part of language, they are known as ‘metacommunication’...

Introduction SMS (Short Message Service) is a service available on mobile telecommunications in GSM and CDMA networks to send and receive short messages in the form of text.

...The Hidden Positive Impact of Text Messaging On Literacy The importance of text messaging is emphasized by several research findings. According to research cited in Education (Education), text message shorthand is vital in assisting youngsters to improve their phonic awareness and linguistic creativity. Powell and Dixon also discuss the importance of short messaging systems (SMS) and exposure to textism (the use of texting slangs) in enhancing learners’ spelling skills (Powell and Dixon). Wood conducted a research on the implications of text messaging on the literacy of 9 to 10-year-old-children’s literacy skills. Wood notes that the exposure to text messaging and their counterparts who do not have access to SMS might be contributing, positively, to the literacy skills development among 9 to 10-year-old-children (Wood). Furthermore, past studies analyzed by Verheijen report a positive correlation between the use of SMS and literacy levels among users (Verheijen). Belying the findings of these studies, however, is the viewpoint among older generation researchers and academicians that text messaging has negative correlations to improving learning skills among users. They argue that text messaging has contributed detrimental implications on learners as opposed to its emphasized importance by recent researchers. They present counterarguments justifying their disapproval of the importance of text messaging on learning. They cite the negative implications of technology on learners...

...OBE49749 Campaign for Sightsavers Tactical Response Recent research by the market research organisation DJS has revealed some intriguing trends in the attitudes of Britons to donating to charity (DJS 2013). For example, it was found that those who were earning an average income were more likely to donate to charities than those who were earning a higher than average income. Another very important finding of the survey was the fact that charities could be missing out on as much as £665 million in donations a year because they failed to address the main reasons for non-donation, which were found to be financial constraints and a distrust of charities due to lack of information. Among the concerns expressed by respondents were wastage costs, lack of transparency and administration costs. In other words, people were discouraged from donating to charities if they could not see a real and definite impact in the charity’s work. They wanted to feel that their donations were having a definite effect. Within this context then, the communication problems of a charity such as sight savers are twofold: On the one hand, the charity needs to make sure that it has a real presence in the public consciousness, and draw attention towards the urgency of the issues that it is concerned with. On the other hand, it needs to demonstrate to potential donors that their money is being used effectively to address these issues, and that a real impact is being made. A useful starting point for developing...

...M-COMMERCE: THE ROLE OF SMS TEXT MESSAGES Ruth Rettie, School of Marketing, Kingston University, United Kingdom Matthew Brum, MBA student, Kingston University, United Kingdom Email contact: R.Rettie@Kingston.ac.uk ABSTRACT This paper explores the marketing role of SMS text messages. While Internet based m-commerce has been disappointing, commercial applications for SMS are developing rapidly. The conceptual framework compares SMS to telemarketing and email marketing, and describes the key features of this new medium. Five distinct SMS business models are identified and discussed. We used quantitative research among mobile users to assess attitudes to SMS marketing. Most respondents were concerned about junk messages and wanted to control incoming messages. Initial attitudes to advertising in text messages were negative, but many were prepared to accept advertising in exchange for discounts or promotional offers. INTRODUCTION The development of Internet based m-commerce has been disappointing: restricted sites, slow download, small screens, and the limited number of handsets, currently constrain commercial development. At the same time companies are beginning to recognize the potential of SMS (Short Message Service) text messages, as a low cost, high impact communication medium, that can be received by almost all mobile phone users. Several companies are adopting highly innovative m-commerce strategies using SMS text messaging. 15 billion SMS messages (Cyberatlas...

...SMS Text Analysis: Language, Gender and Current Practices Muhammad Shaban Rafi1 Abstract This article tests the assumption that SMS language is like a pidgin in every speech community. The article also examines the assumption that a great motor of SMS lives among females whose lexical and morpho-syntactic choices are different from males. It further speculates influence of SMS language on language of media. One hundred messages were taken randomly from 20 cell phones and perceptions of 25 males and 25 females were recorded on an ordinal scale for analysis. The text was analyzed to look into lexicology, morphology and syntactic levels of texters, and influence of SMS on language of commercials. The results show that a novice intelligible language has evolved through SMS, which is influencing language of media. A significant difference is found between male and female texters’ linguistic properties. Introduction Short Message Service (SMS) language tends to create a novice language, which has become an integral part of the multilingual world. It pursues simple sentences structure for communication. It is assumed that SMS syntactic and lexical choices by the texters are not so different from a child language. A child expresses his feelings through simple present progressive tense e.g. mom eating for ‘Mom is eating’ and Eating for ‘I am eating’. The empirical data show that SMS language over-looks orthographic and syntactic rules of a language with a great emphasis...

A. Introduction Language is very important in our life. It is used to express our thoughts and ideas to communicate with others. In this modern era, language changes constantly. The language that we use today is getting wider and wider. Nowadays, we use technology like cellphones and computers to convey our messages and through these, people are learning on how to cope up and change the way they convey their thoughts and ideas in different forms. Indeed, English proficiency is one of the important things that we need to practice. The proper usage of both Filipino and English language is one of the important aspects of Philippine education. Correct grammar, syntax and pronunciation are the main concerns of improving our language proficiency to maintain an effective communication locally and internationally, but due to the continuous development of language, the emergence of Jejemon...

...http://jejedex.blogspot.com/2010/06/jejemon-history-how-it-all-began.html Jejemon History: How It All Began Several years ago, a lot of the youth joined text messaging clans while others played online MMORPG games like Ragnarok, Flyff, and Gunbound. Some, with the urge to find and get to know people of all ages online, joined in social networks like Friendster and Multiply. At that time, Friendster was in while Facebook was not what it turned out to be at present. Due to the necessity of having to relay a message abruptly so as not to be delayed in action (while playing, texting or commenting), they tried to make messages they type really short to an extent that every word was internally altered using numbers to creatively displace letters that would still make the words readable. Of course, Jejemonism was not that intense and obvious at that time. It took a longer time before the more educated ones realized that something's not right and one thing has to be done - to abide by what is being conventionally dictated by society. At that moment, many of the younger generation became adapted to this kind of typing style for they really thought that it was somehow cool, manageable and widely accepted within their age range. It was the new hip at that time, but as it grew out of nowhere, concerned academic people took this as a threat to the educational standards. In time, Jejemonism became the latest source of boiling social debates. As time propelled and confusion arose, people...

...Texting has been around for a while now but it has started becoming very popular and trendy over the last several years. In 2005 I purchased my first cell phone a Boost Mobile/ Walkie Talkie Phone. I was able to send text messages but never did. Being a prepaid phone it was expensive and I preferred for every bit of my time to go towards and actual conversation. However once phone companies started offering plans of unlimited texting, texting became very popular. I can appreciate the fact of how convenient texting is. It’s a great way for people to communicate quickly and quietly. Texting is a accommodating device to use when transferring information, directions, and other helpful things. On the other hand there are cases of the negative effects texting can cause people. I watched a television program on MTV about two young ladies who considered their selves textaholics. (http://www.mtv.com/videos/true-life-im-a-textaholic/1672744/playlist.jhtml, True Life: I am a Textaholic, October 2011) One young lady was a senior with the dream of playing volleyball in college. She texted so much that she begun having difficulties in her wrist. She also was going to have to have surgery. What surprised me was that her mother was asking her if she could text less. If a child cannot resist the urge to lay their phone down for their own safety and health reasons then a parent needs to step in. At the end the girl reduced her text messaging by thousands but ended up not playing volleyball...
