Text Messaging

You are walking down a street and a sea of people come straight at you, what do you see? When I look at them I see people with their thumbs up, as if they were to say good job, typing away at a little keyboard on cell phones that are getting smaller and sleeker by the minute. Most people do not use their cell phones to hear another persons voice at the other end, but for text messaging, e-mailing, Twittering, Flickering, and Facebook. I have to say I am guilty of this. I use text messaging more than I do talking with my own voice. Their are many reasons why I use text messaging other than just calling someone. If I am in a place where people shouldn't or do not want to hear someone having a conversation. For example the library, in a restaurant, or classroom. I also do not want others to hear my conversations especially if I am complaining about someone. Another reason I use text messaging is because I am able to end a conversation whenever I want to with no excuse. When I am finished talking with you I can just stop I do not have to make up an excuse of going through a tunnel so I am going to lose a signal or that someone is calling me. Lets face it all of us have done it one time or another. It is also less intimidating when you are text messaging someone and not hearing their voice on the other end.
