"Texting in the Philippines is transforming conventional fairy tales. Not unlike a Cinderella-themed narrative: the ballroom can be conceived as cyberspace, where instead of dancing, Cinderella and the Prince text one another. The fit of the glass slipper can be compared to text skill. The fairy godmother
can be envisioned as technology; the evil step-mother, the cost of pre-paid calling cards; the three evil
step-sisters: a stolen phone, a faulty SIM card, and no signal." (Bella Ellwood-Clayton 2003) |
