Educational/Noneducational Text

Text is everywhere that you look. You would have to go out extremely out of your way to avoid text for just one hour of the day. Even if you're not the reading type, you can find text on the food you eat, your clothing, television, email, the cellphone that's constantly vibrating in your pocket, and the blog that you are reading at this very moment. Text can be classified as "anything deliberately fashioned by human beings to convey an idea, a message, or even a feeling". But which text is educational and which isn't?
School textbooks, newspapers, and informative books are your typical education text. I believe that all text is educational, however. Whether it's reading a book about how to write an essay, or reading a clothing tag telling you to wash with like colors, you are picking up bits of information with everything that you read. When your friend texts you about the party tomorrow night, it might be a stretch, but you are still learning of something that you would have otherwise known nothing about. When you read billboards you are learning of new products. When you look at the nutritional information while munching on a bag of potato chips, you are learning how much fat you are ingesting (and how many miles you will have to run to burn all that off!) So no matter where you encounter text, it is educational.
