I hate texting !!

I hate texting. I hate the way it restricts me. It's great that I can stay in touch while on the road, but it's a pain in the butt.

I can't reference my thoughts with links that would generally be a few "copy and paste" clicks away.

I can't stand the screen size of my "Smart Phone" and I have one of the largest available.

I hate using the pop up key board that tries to "Help" me.

Ever try to search for and paste a link to something that wasn't already planned for?

Good luck.

I love my PC.

I love that I have the ability to capture information and relay it in seconds. Information that may or may not be stored on my machine. A quick search and a few clicks and I can send it to you without jumping through smart phone hoops.

I hate Texting.

I hate BRB, and all the others that are making people lazy when trying to express themselves.

WTF !!

It's the death of us, the death of our language and the meaning of words in their proper context.

Touch screen convenience at it's best?".

Short cuts designed to "Help" us get our message across have made so many miss the message all together.

I hate Texting.

Where’d you get a pc in 1985? I had a commodore in 1984... I worked for Intel and got a luggage personal pc in 1985...our department at Intel didn’t get one until 1986...

We use to make Christmas wreaths out of punch cards. My late husband worked with computers when they were the size of refrigerators way back in the early 60’s. He built our first computer.

I remember those wreaths! Spray painted in holiday colors.

Thanks for the memory!

It stinks! Choose a word that it’s not familiar with and it changes it. Plus fat fingers need not apply.

My 86 year old aunt does too. I wish the forward button on her e-mail would break though. ;^)

I had access to an IBM PC dual floppy with green screen monochrome monitor and 512k of memory in 1985.

Same here. I tell everyone at work,”Do not text me.” I won’t read it and won’t respond.

LOL LOL LOL!

My phome has a voice text option..... Hold the button and records voice to text, glance at it and push send after confirming autocorrect hasn’t insulted anyone.

Other good thing about text....if your out of voice range, text will still get a message out if yer in the boonIes .....worked well during Katrina when cell towers and power was down. No voice calls worked yet text’s were picked up at extreme ranges.

Text is just another tool in the toolbox.

Stay safe !

I can’t stop LMAO!

It’s the utter lack of “utility” that I hate.

It’s great to say hello etc...

But,

It seems that more and more people are abandoning their PC, with all it’s utility, in favor of, well, stupidity.

[Larry Lucido]

I hate phone calls! Just text me. :)

[Squantos]

Icom 706 ...got it !

[Larry Lucido]

[muggs]

I hate it too, especially with a flip phone, but even with a smart phone I want no part of it.

[billys kid]

I can’t stop LMAO!

Please don’t use your laptop behind the wheel.

I tire of the zero lane discipline. It wrecks my buzz when I’m riding . . .
