Texting+Casey

Texting is a common word used today for SMS or instant messaging through a cell phone, but texting wasn't a common term for our grandparents or when our parents were teenagers. The first text message was sent in December 1992. Texting has come a far way since then with voice activation and a world record contests to see who can text the fastest. Texting has become part of the common daily lives of Americans. It lets you communicate with people far away and right next to you without having to speak. It is as simple as typing a message on your phone's keyboard and sending it. Although calling is still used, texting has eliminated the common use of it. Texting encourages fast communication which is beneficial for the non-stop life of adults and teens today. It is great for getting a quick message across point blank without having to have a conversation with someone on the phone.

But, with everything useful, there are some cons. Teens and children growing up and relying on texting aren't developing the same conversation skills that adults today have. Some say that kids won't need it with the growing technology but others disagree. Some say texting has ruined our society one text at a time. Everything good needs to be put in moderation. For some texting is an obbsession while others take a minute to type five words. Learning to find the middle of these two will surely let texting be beneficial in our technoly savy world.
