Text You Back

on Tuesday, September 11, 2012

The way we communicate with other people has always been evolving slowly but surely. Before texting became one of the biggest ways the modern world communicates today, we used to call each other for the smallest of things. But now that seems quiet irrelevant. For example when I go to pick up my friend from his house, I do not call him to say that I am outside his house. I simply send a text to let him know that he better get out quickly or else he is staying behind. It has turned out to be a real quick way of communicating with anyone. But with the advantages it has over many other forms of communications it also has its disadvantages. First of you can easily make a mistake that can switch the meaning of the text from something normal to something that can be taken greatly out of context. These mistakes could easily lead to awkward situations that no one wants to find themselves in. And sometimes we replace a conversation that requires one person to call the other, but we find that calling the other person is way too much of a hassle so we rather choose to create long and elaborate paragraphs of texts. Texting is just the way we mainly have conversations with our friends and family members in today’s time. It has its faults and is not always the best way to carry out a conversation but in the end I will always prefer sending a simple “K” over calling the person to say “okay”

I agree some things are better said by a short message than a long phone call.

I dislike when my spellcheck on my phone changes words on me.

I hate spell check! It sometimes makes texting more of a hassle.

I completely agree. Texting is much more convenient in my eyes, but also is mistaken. I myself have read text messages and freaked out over nothing at all.

I sometimes prefer to call the person instead of sending a long paragraph.

Thats so true auto-correct always causes problems when I text!

I personally rather call a friend to have a conversation, but your right when picking someone up a simple text is easier and faster
