texting


   Texting is a very common form of communication. It can be very handy, especially when you cannot reach someone by simply calling them. However, I myself don’t enjoy texting as much as others do. I would much rather call someone or speak to them in person if possible. I feel that a lot of the actual meaning and expression of a message gets lost through texting. Emotion cannot really be read because you cannot hear the tone of the person’s voice or see their face expressions. Although I notice many people prefer to text rather than call or talk to someone face to face, I try to avoid texting unless it’s the only way to reach someone.

   In recent years texting has become a problem for people who cannot stop texting while they are driving. This has led to many deaths, especially in most recent years. Unfortunately even though people are aware of the risk they are taking while driving and texting, I still see  many people doing it.

  1. I agree with you that sometimes a lot of that meaning and especially the emotion of a massage gets lost through texting.

  2. I like your style Marco. I would rather call someone then text them as well, I am guilty of texting more than I should though. I guess it is just a lot easier for me.

  3. Your'e right,talking is more personable. I see it all the time, even in my family. We can all be in the same room and everyone is texting in complete silence. It's so much better when we're all hanging out conversating rather than texting.

  4. For a second i thought i was the only who still talked on a phone, but now I'm proven wrong. I like hearing a persons voice as well it is more meaningful.

  5. I agree to some extent about emotion getting lost while communicating through text, but if you write the right words you can express a lot.

  7. Texting is the best way not to hear someone's voice. Have you noticed that when you miss a payment the companies now send you a text? That I like because I would rather not here their voice, lol.
