Texting- the good, the bad and the ugly!

For this weeks post I wanted to go along with my article about Texting. Texting can be a very good thing and a not so good thing. There are alot of reasons we all like texting. Its easier then calling, you can have longer conversations through out the day, it takes away from those awkward silences and its more convenient like say if your at work or in class you can just text someone if you need them.

But with texting there can be some disadvantages, such as the common misunderstanding text. If you mean something to sound one way, the other person receiving the text might not take it the way you meant it to be causing conflict. I think is this the major problem with texting. It also very distracting, you know when your talking to someone in person and they start to text someone, its annoying. And i'm sure its annoying for teachers when students are texting doing class.

I also think texting and facebook or twitter is becoming the only way people can communicate. I feel like so many people would rather text then call someone to talk. I think texting has also made emailing more popular because now no one wants to sit on the phone and talk when they could email or text.

I think its very interesting how before the telephone, people have to communicate by telegrams or writing letters, well isn't it kind of going back to that way. The telephone was invented so people could communicate easier, well now texting or emailing is kind of like writing a letter, but only faster.

I think texting has changed the way we communicate. Texting invented other apps like black berry messenger. Now you can text, email, bbm, facebook chat and tweet! I think its funny how many ways you can talk to people instead of being face to face or on the phone.
