               Texting in my life isn’t exactly one of the major things that I do but I do use it every day and quite honestly couldn’t be without it. The only person I text all the time is my girlfriend. People like my parents and grandparents I don’t really text; not because they don’t know how or are uncomfortable with it, but because I would rather call them and speak with them. Texting people outside of my generation feels sort of awkward to me. I don’t feel as though they know exactly how I am speaking, and with texting it’s sometimes hard to know how a person means to sound. There are also certain times I won’t call or text people. I will not text when I am in class or if I have something else important going on. Also, If I know the person is busy I will not bother them. I would say that a pro to speaking through text is that you can formulate what you want to say but it’s also immediate. A con would be that you can’t take back or erase a message sent, so the immediacy is sort of problem. In ordinary writing you can erase before the directed audience views it, but in texting you can’t. As for the most important information I’ve ever given in text, I’m not quite sure. For important things I usually call as it is more respectable. I guess maybe if you can consider texting about what someone wants for dinner to be important than that’s about it. Maybe telling someone what I want from Taco Bell is important, I don’t know. I probably would never text someone something extremely important unless I was in a hurry or really busy. As for texting as a whole, I don’t think I could live without it now that I have it. Calling someone is much more intrusive whereas texting is quick and easy.
