From the analysis of conventions, it is evident that text messaging has changed the way of society. People on average send more texts than ten years ago and this is due to the convenience of messaging as it is instant and easy to communicate as every mobile phone has the messaging services.

You are now able to send photos, videos and voice notes on imessage for free, meaning that people arent having to pay extra money. This is influenced by the conventions because when text messaging came around, you was only able to send a message with letters only. whereas now you can have a full conversation as if you was on the phone because people can hear your voice and still understand the emotion of the text.

Another way the conventions have been influenced, is by the new form of messaging which is emojis. These are symbols which have faces on them and flags which represent emotion. Emojis are a major part of everyday text messaging with teens and young adults especially to communicate and convey laughter or saddness. This has became so popular that now when you purchase an apple iPhone and any apple device, one of the languages available is the Emoji.

Another form influenced by the conventions of the new society is 'Text language' this is when people shorten words but still have the same meaning, this has come around as it means that people can spell words quicker and the reader at the other end of the message still understands, for example words such as lol and g2g. Although this has brought up many opinions on what age children should be allowed phones to text as the 'text language' is being shown in their school work and teachers say its affecting the way of their learning because 'text language' is only a phase and isn't English that young children need to know.
