"Voice recognition is improving by leaps and bounds and already it is possible for those with Bluetooth in their cars to have texts read to them and in turn, have their verbal replies converted to text and sent out."

LOL...why not just call the person and actually talk to them?

That's what I used to say! But my kids finally explained it all to me.

Apparently the younger kids pride themselves in being able to communicate through electronic methods only. Unless they are "face-to-face", they go to great lengths to avoid speaking to each other.

They see direct voice communication as not only inefficient and disruptive but as an outdated relic of what their parents would do. Having a conversation by phone is as ancient and quaint to them as sending a telegram through Western Union would be to us. It is considered "lame."

Eggs Ackley! I have two friends who will not answer the phone, but will immediately answer a text! I just don’t get it! Makes no sense at all!

The inventor of the two way pager is pissed. He peeked before his time.

Because most people are imbeciles.

I have told all of my family and friends not to text me EVER under any circumstances.

Clears up lots of confusion, the telephone is a great way to communicate.
