Texting, Texting!, Texting?
Texting has become second nature for us. We depend so much on texting we feel obligated to reply as soon as our phones begin to bibrate. However, our generation has replace talking or writing with texting; no real spelling or foundation of knowledge. I feel that our dependence on quickness and fast pace life styles have left some very unignorable marks on our social and learning habbits. We don't need to be so dependable on our phones in order to communicate with others. The reason why I am aginst texting is for the fact that when we meet the people who we seem to always be talking to via texting we have an award moment where we can hardly say two words without looking away. I for once choose not to text but rather call or speak to the pearson I need to reach with basic and correct English. I am not the kind of person you will find facing his phone for more than a minute. If we break free from the phones that have slaved us we can begin to see what is arounf us and appreciate we we have; the little things we take for granted.

I agree with everything you said! It does not seem as if anyone knows how to speak properly anymore. I have found that people seem to lack normal phone etiquette while talking now as well. I find it infuriating!
ReplyDeleteYes a lot of people depend on texting and some people take it to an extreme always being on their phone. I think texting also is very convenient. when you cant talk on the phone for example in meetings or in class. Sometimes it is necessary.
ReplyDeleteIm glad im not the only one who does not spend a lot of time looking at my cell phone. You are right people depend so much on texting they dont see the world around them.
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree but I have been guilty of texting, nowadays its either to avoid running into someone and having to make small talk. Or on a date with a guy to give him a hint that I am NOT interested :).
ReplyDeleteThe first thing i noticed was you misspelled vibrate, but im pritty shure thats a typo, so it worcks when your talking about bad spelling and speed typing
ReplyDeleteI will have to agree with you people stopped communicating with each other, Iv come home and my kids text their mom who is in the other room to ask whats for dinner. Now that is scary.
ReplyDeleteToo many people depend on texting. I do not appreciate people when they cross the street while they text. They dont even look up and around to see if they are going to get hit by a moving vehicle.
ReplyDeleteyou are rite everyone should put there phones down and see what is around them
ReplyDeleteI agree... sometimes I feel I would have to throw my phone against the pavement just to break away from it.
