Texting
I
believe texting has become and will stay the ultimate way of communicating for
the future. Nowadays, no one wants to spend time with their ear to the phone
listening to people ramble on and on, especially about nonsense conversations any longer. However,
the only exception would be talking to family members or a significant other. With
texting you get straight to the point and you have time to proof read what
you’re saying before you send your message. When your speaking voice to voice,
you most of the time wish you could take things back or say things differently.
I remember many of times I wished I would of just texted my feelings or ideas
to avoid controversies and issues.
Text
messaging has an entire new way of speaking; it is almost like you have to
learn a new lingo or language. The abbreviations to shorten each word or even
sometimes up to four or five words all at once are cleaver. Some examples that
I use are; IKHYF (I know how you feel), IMO (in my opinion), ASAYGT (as soon as
you get this), ALOL (actually laughing out loud), BRB (be right back), IDK (I
don’t know) and the best one everyone knows of is WTF (what the f@*!). Texting also
allows people to actually express certain feelings with smiley face characters!
Furthermore, with our technology, texting is only becoming more and more
advanced to the point people have become addicted and will never stop...
That's true no one wants to talk on the phone unless it's a significant other or a family member. Sometimes MAYBE your friends.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was "IKHYF" and "ASAYGT".
Point taken. anyone would rather text than confront,anyone would text to avoid but can anyone really text to express, i personally do not think so. i'd rather have a face to face conversation when it comes to expressing important thoughts or ideas. overall, i really enjoyed this post.
ReplyDeleteIt is very true that people would rather text than call. Like you said, nobody wants to waste their time on a phone call that might take longer than you expected.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you people are addicted to texting that they rather not have a conversation on the phone.
ReplyDeletetexting has taken over. hardly anyone has phone conversations now a days unless if its with a family memeber or signifigant other just like you said.
ReplyDeletethough i don't agree that texting is the way of the future i do agree that it has replaced the need to always call people.

ReplyDeleteI agree people would much rather text than actually have a conversation over the phone.
ReplyDeletetotally agreed with you at the end of your first paragraph.
ReplyDeleteI have to say that i love texting, but sometimes i rather talk. At times some conversations are more meaningfull when you are able to hear the other person.
