TxT Me...

To my readers

            Texting, you do it during the night, while your parents are asleep, while eating dinner, while crossing the street, we all do it everywhere all the time it has become a norm in our everyday life. It makes it hard for us to concentrate during the day at our jobs, during homework time, and school thinking about how many missed texts or how many people have texted us in the past minute.  It makes it so hard on us to stop especially with the unlimited texting plans of you preferred wireless provider.

Okay ill txt you later or what is your number so I can txt you? These are examples of the most common phrases used today amongst the younger generation before beginning a texting conversation. Calling or talking to someone on the phone has become so out dated to the younger generation that it is rare to see a teen talking for at least two minutes.

Although texting is a fast method to communicate amongst others it is also deadly either to you or someone else. Although talking and driving has been prohibited texting still manages to come through. I will admit that I too squeeze in a text or two while driving especially during school hours it is a major distraction. It has taken control over me and I can’t help it. And when my cell phone stopped working I was devastated all I could think of was all the people who were going to text me and what would they text without me being able to reply.  That is when I realized that my social life had all been around my cell phone. It made my average of 2000 text messages a month to 0. I made the replacement of my cell phone my priority over anything else.

Only one good thing came about my cell phone malfunction I actually for once paid more attention in class than ever before. So am I saying texting is a distraction in life, guilty as charge.
