I plan on analyzing two articles that have pictures that show the realities of texting and the prominence of it in today’s society. One article shows the realities of texting by taking the cellphones out of the images and leaving the people with their empty hands sitting in the social  situation looking bored and out of place.

The other shows the images of the arms with the phone in the hand, not showing the rest of the body. The arms are in public places where you would expect to see a number of people but instead see the arms isolated

I can analyze the semiotics: specificity of audience the rhetor is using the images show the audience something that they don’t see they are doing. It shows how technology as the primary source of communication is taking away from human interaction/ social cues.
