I was dating this guy and we would spend all day text messaging each other. And he thought that he could tell that he liked me more because he actually spelt the word ‘YOU’ and I just put the letter ‘U’.
Tone can be as important as text.
One of the ideas that was developed at MIT in a workshop was, imagine this pipe, and you’ve got valves, solenoid valves, taps, opening and closing. You create like a water curtain with pixels made of water. If those pixels fall, you can write on it: you can show patterns, images, text.
Sol LeWitt had a huge influence on my work because of his use of repetition and his clarity, setting up a system and letting that system go. That’s kind of where the text paintings came from.
I would say what Mad Men has taught me has been a super elevated evaluation of text in general, and understanding subtext, and understanding where a character comes from – what he means by this or by that.
I do, in fact, have a book club. I meet with a couple of guys once a month of a lunchtime discussion of some interesting text, usually, but not always, philosophical.
Bhagavd Gita is a major source of inspiration for me and the spiritual text has a special role in my life.
Remember daydreams? No, of course you don’t. How could you? Three new text messages have just arrived, and another three, in a moment, will go out.
In our daily lives as programmers, we process text strings a lot. So I tried to work hard on text processing, namely the string class and regular expressions. Regular expressions are built into the language and are very tuned up for use.
Since 1970, I’ve been using text and ephemera as well as photographs in order to tell stories of one kind or another. There’s a thread that runs through all the work that is to do with bearing witness. The photographs are about asking questions, though, not answering them.
What I’m seeing is a generation that says consistently, ‘I would rather text than make a telephone call.’ Why? It’s less risky. I can just get the information out there. I don’t have to get all involved; it’s more efficient. I would rather text than see somebody face to face.
What is hypertext? It is a method of giving a text more depth, structuring it, and letting the computer help you explore it. Links, like we know today – you see some blue underlined word and you click on it and it takes you somewhere else. That’s the simplest definition of hypertext.
Fluency is the developmental process that connects decoding with everything we know about words to make the meaning of the text come to life. Fluency is a wonderful bridge to comprehension and to a life-long love of reading.
People’s behavior will change with technology. I know very few young people who can’t type out a text message on their phone with one thumb, for instance.
I would like to ban people being allowed to text while in a crosswalk.
I think that we’re reducing who we are as human beings to these cell phones and these devices; now we don’t even want to pick up a telephone to talk – we just text.
Oceans of emotion can be transmitted through a text message, an emoji sequence, and a winking semicolon, but humans are hardwired to respond to visuals.
Most of us still haven’t grasped the fact that everything we commit to the digital space – not just our public blogs and broadcast tweets, but every private text message, email, and voicemail is likely to be stored and accessible. Forever.
It only took one text message to change my life. That’s when I discovered my loving husband had been unfaithful. His infidelities ended our marriage.
There was a story that came out that Jimmy Garoppolo was one of the first guys to text Trey Lance. That’s just the type of guy Jimmy is. He’s not going to shy away from adversity, shy away from a draft pick.
As a visual storyteller, a lot is learning what to include so you’re not being redundant between images and text.
I can’t tell you how many times I would call and text my boss, Vince McMahon, on the set of ‘Sisters’ and ‘Trainwreck’ and anything else like this to thank him for over-preparing me for this.
One of the cool things about getting to audition for things on short notice is that it teaches you to memorize efficiently. So I’ve never been afraid of getting text down quickly.
Because Mint has access to all of your bank accounts and credit cards, we can detect fraud or unusual spending patterns faster than your bank, then send an email or text message alert to users.
I have never sent a fax, and I’ve never even sent a text message.
I do get text messages from people with sick jokes on when something terrible has happened. I don’t read them; they make me ill. But it does happen, and I’m sure I’m not the only person who gets them.
People avoid the telephone because it’s easier to text. Calls can be awkward – you interrupt each other; you can’t quite hear someone. But the advantage is you get to hear someone else’s voice. You find out whether or not you can have a fluid conversation or if it’s stilted and peculiar.
If you look at an old piece of sheet music, there’s all kinds of text on it, there are ads, there are proclamations of the greatest songs’ success, there’s artwork. So there is a tactile, physical experience of learning the song and the way it’s notated.
If every editor turns you down, maybe you should take a second look at your text, however, just in case.
I’m terrible on the phone. I just text my friends and family and say, ‘Hey, I’m in town.’
In my family, Robin loves planning the trips. He does the itineraries and everything, always sends them out in a mass text.
Progressives control America’s schools and text book industry and they dishonestly leave the ugliest parts of the collectivist story out.
You can tell a guy the truth, and they might hate you for that day, but they’ll come back that night and text you, like, ‘You know what? You were right.’ I just think if you tell guys the truth, they can respect you more.
A lot of my peers, be seniors or juniors, they’ll text me or they’ll call me and they’ll say, ‘Thank you for doing the music that you do because it pushes the genre forward in different ways.’ It’s a very rewarding thing to hear.
I get home from work at six or seven. When I’m busy, I set my alarm for three, get out of bed at quarter past three. I have a cup of tea and read a magazine and take the dogs for a walk up the lane. Go through my text messages and reply to anything that needs it, then get my biking gear on ready to cycle to work.
I myself am sometimes fed up with Hatta’s policies. Hatta and I sometimes bug each other, but omitting Hatta from the Proclamation Text… that is the action of a coward!
People live too much of their lives on email or the Internet or text messages these days. We’re losing all of our communication skills.
A selfie, like any photograph, interrupts experience to mark the moment. In this, it shares something with all the other ways we break up our day: when we text during class, in meetings, at the theater, at dinners with friends.
I definitely check my phone for texts a lot – like, ‘Did anyone text me? Is anyone thinking about me? Does anyone love me?’
Like most successful businesses, you and your employees have a vast knowledge base and expertise in your vertical, as well as a lot of great video and text content to prove it. So, why not monetize your expertise and create digital products and membership courses?
Lakers are my boys! I’m 100 percent the biggest Kobe fan on the planet. I text him after every game to tell him what’s up.
I love the way dates in a text make us think that truth will follow.
For my daughter I would suffer through a thousand divorces, a million uncomfortable phone calls, a trillion emotionally fraught text messages.
My career wouldn’t exist without blogs, electronic text, hyperlinks, and mass online audiences.
Isn’t one of your first exercises in learning how to communicate to write a description of how to tie your shoelaces? The point being that it’s basically impossible to use text to show that.
A writer stops writing the moment he or she puts the last full stop to their text, and at that point the book is in limbo and doesn’t come to life until the reader picks it up and the reader flips the pages.
I do not write for the reader to come, but for him who is here, short of reading the text on my shoulder.
I didn’t care about that because I’m not a diplomatic person to begin with. I just went along with things and did what I wanted to do because I knew they had to shoot their 12 pages a day. And when they realized that I didn’t alter the text they really didn’t mind what I did.
When you make as many speeches and you talk as much as I do and you get away from the text, it’s always a possibility to get a few words tangled here and there.
The reality is that we communicate with every part of our being, and there are times when we must use it all. When someone needs us, he or she needs all of us. There’s no text that can replace a loving touch when someone we love is hurting.
By augmenting the pages in the upload process with educational text regarding the type of content that can be uploaded to YouTube, we have seen a sharp overall reduction with users uploading copyrighted materials.
I like to really know what every scene is about, what the text is, what the subtext is. Then I figure out how to express that when I’m shooting.
