Young people today, the generation X’ers-digital natives, use codes like OMG or LOL in their text and Facebook messages, and as well in their tweets. However, it takes great effort for the graying population, the digital immigrants, to shift from rotary type telephones to cell phones, and now to smart phones. But, more and more digital immigrants are found to be texting, Facebooking and even tweeting! And this material from the Internet suggests that should have their own codes too!
