Probably the worst invention of the late 90's and early 2000's.

I hate texting, I had a family problem with my natural brother, and he would only text, and I said to him the effer, can you listen to me on the phone.

You got my drift, I can't stand texts.

The land-line world worked.

The world today is broken.

smart phones have dramatically reduced our overall quality of life... for convenience, we’ve turned ourselves into OCD, dopamine junkies.

Glad I was a kid in the era of atari, bikes, yard baseball and no open faggotry.

Minus blowing up people, Ted Kaczynski was right.

Texting is a way to have a ‘conversation’ that is limited and can be easily halted if either of the participants chooses. An example would be a ‘conversation’ that turns to something one of them really doesn’t want to talk about. “Oh, I had to go answer the door...lost contact.....etc.”

We see yutes texting back and forth to each other in restaurants because they are incapable of having a conversation using a common language.

Speaking to other people and conveying your thought and wishes to each other in a common language is a LOST ART nowadays.

I am in my 60’s and have had 3 job offers from $150K and up to start , just to talk on the phone to Customers, because the College Graduates they hire CAN’T DO IT!!!

I own my own business so I wasn’t about to take the cut in pay, but I do feel for them and I know them well.

pretty frikkin sad

[Blennos]

Big fingers and a tiny keyboard is a recipe for frustration. I avoid texting whenever possible.

[Retrofitted]

I do not answer texts immediately — usually there’s a three- to five-day turnaround. I figure if it’s important, I’ll get a call; if it’s not, I’ll get to it eventually.

“I hate texting...”

So do I. I call them “wood peckers”. Peck, peck, peck...

[Republican in occupied CA]

No more than telegrams.

[roving]

I’m the opposite. I prefer texts over phone calls. I can choose when to respond. My daughter sends me video messages.

[goodnesswins]

My hub often said: you never told me that...but I did. With texting (appointments, etc) I have an electronic trail. :*)

[6ppc]

I prefer texts in many cases. I usually text my friends and if I need to talk I ask them to call at their convenience.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

well, there was an online, updatable, therefore more useful easily faked version.

And completely divorced from reality as well.
