Texting in class??

So I guess we have established that I'm the kind of person who loves to text and that there are many others that do too. Well back in high school the administrators would always tell us that all electronic devices were prohibited. But did that really ever stop us from taking out our phones during class? The worst that they could do to us if we were caught is give us a referral or take our phones away and have our parents come and pick it up at school. But even after that we will keep texting. Texting is like a disease that has taken over us and we have lost control. We have come up with slick moves when we hide our texting. The one I would use is putting my back pack on the floor and having it open with my cell phone on the bottom so I could see when I get a text cause the light would flash and I would reach down and pretend to look for something and instead I'd be texting back. Another thing we do is put the phone under our desk and since we have memorized the keypad, it would be easier to text back without getting caught. Now we are college students and no longer high school students but some of our texting habits stay with us. Although a lot of our professors don't actually say that we are not allowed to text during class I guess you can say that they assume that we shouldn't. We have realized that there are some buildings that have no signal for our phones and we could probably say that they did that for a reason. Mrs. Sarah has said to us straight up that she does not want us to be texting during class and I personally am scared to ever take my phone out in her presence. But should we really have to be told to not text during class? I think now that we are in college we should try to control our urge of texting someone during class and put our phone somewhere that we cannot be looking at it every minute. This is a very hard task to do but not impossible. This can sound pretty funny to some people but this is what texting really does to us. I'm working on not texting during my professors lectures because some of the lectures are pretty long and boring so I usually take out my phone and start texting someone.

Text Messaging

Text Messaging has become one of the world's fastest ways of communication. It has gained much attraction world wide. From the year 2000 to present day, the amount of texters has increased. Phone users prefer to send a text message than make a phone call. As the years pass more phone companies are developing phones that are made just for texting. Phones such as the sidekick, the Samsung gravity, and the Blackberry are made primarily for texting.And more rate plans have added unlimited texting to the plans. Unlimited texting used to be very expensive so many people wouldn't text just until recently they have become quiet cheap and affordable. Even now people don't even need phones to text, all they need is there Ipods. All they have to do is download an app and they can just text away. Another way of texting without a phone is by finding a website online that will send free text messages.
Text messaging, as people know, is very addicting activity according to a Nokia survey. To me this is very true. I am addicted to text messaging. Without texting I would probably be clueless to what happens around me, I mean socially wise. It feels horrible when my parents don't pay the phone bill because I can receive a message but i can't reply to it. That is even why I have Metro PCS so I can text unlimited at a cheap price. I can probably text about 20 messages in a minute. But I know there are others that can text faster than me. As we all know, texting in Cooper Hall is impossible, unless we are like in fourth floor but it doesn't matter anyways since we can't text in class. But once class is over, everyone takes out there phones and there iPods and start texting like crazy. Even as I'm writing this blog I am texting someone. I guess right now we don't see texting as a bad thing but it could be later on. But for now I guess I'm going to keep texting until I have no one left to text or if my parents don't pay the bill.
