Good. If you checked your e-mail every five minutes, or keep texting and Tweeting in the middle of our conversation, I might snap your neck out of sheer principle.
Calling is for # Men - Texting is for # Teenagers.
I find it personally distracting when kids are constantly texting, but they can be texting something that is just benign and just fine.
I'm much better at saying something on the answering machine than texting.
If you are active online or texting, there is a good chance I could look at what you do and know more about you than your family.
I pity the babies whose mothers are busy texting trivialities instead of playing with their children; I pity the children who are tethered to their cell phones instead of playing ball; I pity the adolescents who are wasting their best years holding one of those artefacts instead of the hand of another young person.
Texting is a lot like an answering machine. If you don't want to talk to somebody, it's like screening your calls. To me, it's a way of communication, but not one that I favor.
Because you can text while doing something else, texting does not seem to take time but to give you time. This is more than welcome; it is magical.
Evidence my 14yr old daughter is geek-literate: In lieu of OK, one might type K while texting. She instead typed "Potassium".
If you've been driving for a little while and nothing's happened to you yet - and you've been texting and driving - you think, 'Oh nothing's going to happen. ' But all it takes is an accident happening with one of your friends or God forbid, something happening to you, to really give you a wake-up call.
Texting is a supremely secretive medium of communication - it's like passing a note - and this means we should be very careful what we use it for.
Balthazar was the kind of guy who used totally correct spelling and punctuation even when he was texting, which was sort of bizarrely hot. She was in serious trouble if commas could get her going.
Texting and driving at the same time is like jerking off and juggling at the same time. Too many balls in the air, if you catch my drift.
The postcard is sacred to me. It makes me sad that no one sends them very much anymore because of email and texting. I still like to buy them, but they've lost their original function and now just seem like reminders or mementos of what they used to be.
Texting is apocalyptic on some level. It's a reduction of things.
Texting is very loose in its structure. No one thinks about capital letters or punctuation when one texts, but then again, do you think about those things when you talk?
There's a lot of phones; but I'm out of that field. They make me feel like a prisoner of war; there's not going to be any texting for me. The pre-paid phone is the frontier of my technological advance.
I do use texting as a great way to communicate quickly, but I dont Twitter or anything.
If you're texting Magnus to say 'I think u r kewl' I'm going to kill you
I like texting as much as the next kidult - and embrace it as yet more evidence, along with email, that we live now in the post-aural age, when an unsolicited phone call is, thankfully, becoming more and more understood to be an unspeakable social solecism, tantamount to an impertinent invasion of privacy.
