WHAT’S WITH ALL THE TEXTING?
Could somebody please explain texting to me?
Not the actual act of texting. I get that and I do it every once in a while.
I think it’s a great tool for when you want to send a quick message to somebody but don’t want to get involved in a conversation.
What I don’t get is people carrying on conversations by texting.
You’re holding one of the grestest inventions of all time in your hand–the telephone. It allows you, by pushing 10 buttons to, you know, TALK to another person.
Why would anyone carry on a five minute “conversation” by texting instead of just talking to the person on the other end?
We had something that wasn’t much different from texting 150 years ago. It was called the telegram. Back then, people used to fantasize about being able to actually hear someone’s voice come down one of those lines.
Now we’re back to sending wireless telegrams.
For the past 25 or 30 years we’ve been turning out a generation full of way too many effeminate men. Looks like what’s coming next is a generation of people addicted to text messaging.
Have I ever mentioned that words can’t describe how glad I am to have grown up when I did?
At least my generation had the good sense to get addicted to drugs.
