Every two minutes? Does this girl go to school?chrisrooR

[QUOTE="chrisrooR"]Every two minutes? Does this girl go to school?andyboiii

Let me very clear, I HATE it when people text all the time.:| I seriously think this can be problem. I can't go to class one freaking day without some snot-nosed teenager texting away right when the teacher turns his or her head. It literally drives me up the wall, I mean, WTF?! Can't they, you know, actually use a phone what it was built for? This is insane. When it gets quiet in class I can hear a good amount of people texting like there's no tomorrow.

But you'd never know I have a problem with it...I don't comment to other people about their texting habits; I'm not some nanny of theirs. I was thinking about making a thread on texting, but this is just as good. I even think texting too much may become addictive, but this is my opinion so don't burn me at the stake.

Is there a point where an over-reliance upon texting stunts normal communication skills?

From my experience, most people now either use predictive text or have a qwerty keyboard on their phone so they write things out normally. (I have a qwerty keyboard)

Wow, that girl is probably one of those kids that would actually commit suicide/kill their family if they got their phone taken away as punishment for a week.

Still, in order to send that many at a humanly possible rate she must have been CCing the same text message to mulitple people each time.

I agree, with both of you. As I said before my $25 weapo-- phone works perfectly fine so why don't they just use one of them!? If they're just going to text why have a phone with 3D graphics, mp3 player, COLOUR!? And of course I agree that people should just call each other and not text in class because an education is better.

[QUOTE="Snake_raider"][QUOTE="Pinkyimp"] i dont get it.. why do you hate texting so much.. what your basically saying is oh why talk on gs forums why dont we just call each other I agree, Just shut up, you have no need to be texting in class anyways!, just shut the damn thing off and talk later, Texting is not more important than getting an education. +it also seems that more people buy cell phones for texting, not what it was originally for, TALKING to people. Its hilarious how people dont know the main features of the phone, so they buy stupidly expensive phones only text on..lolSnake_raider

Why would I call a stranger who I met on the internet? I think you're confused, this is a PUBLIC FORUM, meaning the only way to engage in a conversation is through typing a post that can be displayed to other people, this is what this board was made for, it is the only medium in which to "talk" to other people. On a phone, however, there are other ways to communicate, like lets see...hmm a phone used for what? Oh yeah, talking! How could I forget! Like you know, dialing a persons phone number and actually talking to them.;)

Hope I clarified that for you.

You could do it, but the messages would be short and stupid...smiggy4000

That is insane. I text maybe 2 messages a week at most. I don't understand the appeal. Isn't it much easier just to type with a normal keyboard and instant message over the internet?omfg_its_dally

Both the girl and the dad are sitting on couch laughing like there's nothing wrong.
