However, this may add the chanch of making grammatical andspelling errors unconsciously due to the frequent use of improper abbreviationsand punctuation on mobile phone devices.

Onenotceable evidence that peole can download approximately any information onlineimplies that there is less requirement for originality. Compared with the ordergeneration, our innovation density and reading volume have inevitably shrinked.
