I disagree. If you read more carefully the texting was simply observed as a symptom of a larger problem, one which leads to the “occupy” phenomenon soon coming to a city near you. You sound a bit defensive on this issue, perhaps...
Did you not read my post?
I don’t ‘get’ texting at all. A phone call is usually faster than texting... and if the person isn’t there, you will know it.
It’s only been in the last year that I’ve even seen any use at all for texting. And that’s only to pass information that’s difficult to copy from a voicemail. Things like mailing addresses, for example.
