UniSA News, October 2005 - - A UniSA study has found Short Message Services (SMS) place a different kind of literacy in the hands of individuals, defying classroom rules in favour of a unique, culturally created language.

While some have embraced SMS as a positive revolution in communication, others have condemned it as step toward the destruction of human civilisation, beginning with written language

says researcher, Collette Snowden from UniSA's School of Communication, Information and New Media.
