Analysis of Text "C"
On this text, there are present many features that are characteristic for the "new technology" texts, such as the use of exclamation marks and of Capital Letters, both to emphasize and give a more importance to the message that the person is going to send.

For example, Geoff wrote from his email: "I am doing the very same! I got a new BOOK!" 

Here, because of the exclamation marks and the Capital letters, he give a bigger emphasize  to the sentence, especially to the word "BOOK!" 

Another feature that is common on the "New Technology" texts is the abbreviation of some words, like for example on this text, when Geoff wrote: "Tues, Wed or Thurs? Not free Fri or Sat or Sun!" All these abbreviations, that are replacing the days of the week, are used to make the message shorter and easier to read to the receptor.

The New Technology Texts are the faster ways to give a message and they are easier to understand by the receivers, because of the use of Exclamation marks and Capital letters, abbreviations and a lot of other linguistic methods.
