Ok,I'm 45 yrs old and I've had a cell for for over 20 yrs.In all truth I hate carrying the thing around,but I use it for my business.

That being said ,in MOST situations I find it much easier to simpley call someone rather than texting....

but that's just me...

It's like we have become retards.

I think it's pathetic to see some Cougar wanna be chick texting.

If you're a 14yr old texting I guess I get it...

Calling someone is too much work... text a question and get an immediate answer... I second the above comment... LMAO...

With the abbreviations and codes, some can text about as fast as they can talk.

Safer to text while driving than talk on the phone while driving.

Touch texting for the win.

A teenager from my local high school skipped school yesterday and crashed into a police car while texting and ignoring a red light.

...A well below average day!

Andy, you should come to Japan. They have eyes on top of their heads to see where they are going while texting.

We (as in family) use texting a lot! I don't mind it at all. I'd rather text than talk most the time anyway. Like someone above said, ask the question get the answer.....done. Otherwise you get into mundane conversation. Don't want to be rude and cut someone off....."yeah so I gotta go...bye" Text it, your done with it.

Wheel,

move into the new millennium for begeebeezes sake and get a smart phone!

Andy call me if you would like to discuss. Posting in here is a form of texting 🙂

I text about 10-20 times a year. Usually its when I don't want to talk but need to let someone know I will be late.

My kids actually text at the same time they're on the computer. Earphones plugged in so they can't hear you yelling at them. While the TV is running in the background. I suppose I should put a stop to it. I'm going to text them to knock it off when I'm done here. If I can get a word in edgewise.

A year ago I never texted. Now I send/receive about 20 texts a day. It allows me to communicate with my secretary when I'm in a mtg and quick answers are needed. I can text from screenings (I spend about two hours a day in edit bays).

I used to hate it, but now I accept it.
