I can't fucking stand all this instant message crap we have now a days. I live on the computer but i think all this text communication is taking on its own life and causing tons of things to fight about. First off, its a pain in the ass to type on a number pad and takes longer then dialing a number to talk to someone. My girl justifies it however saying its good for when you dont want to talk to someone. I respond with then dont fucking call them. Also 90% of the drama i have to hear about is "so and so left me a mean face book comment or so and so didnt text me back within 5mins of me texting them so they must be mad".

Ok obviously im in a bad mood, but i hate fucking texting!

I never text.
I blackberry a few times a day but that's just regular old e-mail

I love texting. Way better than talking. Get used to it. Its how most younger people communicate now. Not long before it makes it to the older ranks and takes over.

I like texting as a practical means of conveying information / instructions that need to be executed within a certain time frame, but as a means of daily social interaction? Please, just hook up for drinks or something.

See unfortunately this is part of the problem. The younger generation communicates 90% of the time by text message and email. They never have to use proper spelling or grammar or actually make conversation beyond a couple of sentences.

When I was in college at the age of 26 I saw these kids try to write cover letters and essays and I laughed because they couldn't even put together a proper sentence, never mind spell anything. And these are our future business leaders.

I always use proper spelling in texting and email. it's not the forms of communication that are the problem...it's the l33t speak fad.
