Entry #7: #It'sthewaywetalk

Image result for hashtagsWelcome back guys, this week I have been asked in my English 102 class to read an article containing hashtags. I read the article "How #Hashtags changed the way we Talk"  and honestly I was  amazed on how Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon used hashtags. I liked the examples the writer was displaying. She used pictures from social media sites and videos. I personally participated in using hashtags on twitter when the trend first came out. I would say it is a short way to say things in a sentence without writing a whole sentence.When I participated in the trend I found that if you click on the hashtag, whatever is hash-tagged pops up in the search engine.  What i found amazing was the hand gesture that went with it. I think the hand gesture is doing a bit much with the words"Hashtag". The author was comparing hashtags to English and I must admit that hashtags are the way to communicate on Twitter and Instagram. I think she was persuading her audience to see that hashtags are only used on social media and not in person really. I don't  think hashtags are destroying our English language but rather making it easy to communicate on social media. #Seeyouguys
