I like using text messaging when making an actual call would be disruptive or inconvenient, but I prefer to actually TALK on the phone. My son is 12 and he sends and receives a lot of text messages every day. He rarely speaks to anyone - just tapping away - so when I saw this cartoon I had to laugh...

Several managers at my job have Blackberries and they all call them "Crackberries" for that reason. (These are men in their early 20's to mid-30's).

I LOVE texting!  I can send a message to my kids or sister any time without worrying that I am interrupting their work.  My daughter says I text like a 16 yr old girl!  I am not a phone person--never liked to sit for hours talking.  But, I can text 20 times a day with no problem!!  My husband just doesn't get it--nor do most of my friends.  It works great for me!

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.
