Coughlan develops this claim by first investigating all the different research studies, and also by exploring statistics. Coughlan's studies all show the same thing, which shocked most people. Lastly, the author declares that many kids literacy skills improves when they have phones on them. Sean Coughlan's purpose is to inform everyone about the benefits of texting in order to show that texting is not degrading our literacy but improving it in society.This work is significant because it proves my theory that texting actually does improve literacy.
