THUMBSPEAK-

I completely agree with whats happening with the world and the lack of communication going on and the way people are choosing to communicate. I'm completely one of these people who choose text messaging over what most would say normal communication. Like picking up the phone and calling someone. I would much rather text, or go online and send messages. That way you can end the conversation without sounding rude or as if you don't want to talk anymore. It is affecting all of us of all ages. My children that are 8 yrs old even use text messaging, because its the new and cool thing to them. People forget how to write sentences that actually make sense because of that whole world. Were all so use to abbreviating and shortening words so that we can do this kind of communication fast.

Most people have learned the three or four letter words that actually mean whole sentences, and its very scary. I think texting is a dangerous world and you learn nothing good by doing it, but yes i still do it. When I'm doing papers for school or trying to write a letter to someone I catch myself using those short lettered words by habit. We all text so much it just becomes a normal way of writing when were doing anything in our lives. The problem isn't getting better either it's getting so much worse as each and everyday passes. I worry a lot about the younger generation with this growing industry of text messaging. It does not teach you the correct way of speaking and it can be very dangerous. In all reality I think we should get rid of texting. It would force so many people to communicate in the right and appropriate ways. There wouldn't be a lot of the garbage that is said on text messaging because a lot of times its very inappropriate things and people are not going to say those things to someone on the phone or in person. For the most part at least.
