I have never 'texted.' I get asked a few times each week by someone who wants to 'text' me. Since its being done on a telephone I always ask them to just talk to me.
Or email me.
Or fax me.
Or just tell me face-to-face.
They invariably give me a look of resignation.
Luddite thats what I am.

I don't even know how to do it on my cell. Heck, I still find myself trying to change channels on the TV with my cell sometimes. So far, no luck with that. It won't work with my air conditioner either.

I text a lot for work, usually to tell the day crew what time they need to be in in the morning. It is easier to send a text out to four people at once than to call (and disturb) four people separately.

"Luddite"??

Hey, those 'texting' with a cellphone are the Luddites.

Think about it for a while...

I think I heard of a door lock that you can text from your cellphone to open it. I don’t know why you couldn’t eventually text your television and other gadgetry.
