Negative Consequences

So we've talked about how texting is like the awsomest thing that was ever invented but texting also has its negatives aspects  as well. For example it is such a distraction to us! It distracts us when we text in class. We don't pay attention to the lecture or we can't finish our homework because we are texting. We text while we drive and some of us even while in the bathroom or when we shower. A lot of us like to text during diner and our parents get mad at us because it's suppose to be family time and instead we are texting our friends.IT'S AN ADDICTION that is slowly taking over us and it's CRAZY!
We prefer to text instead of having a front to front conversation or a confrontation. People instead of saying what they think or how they feel they say it over a message. If we are angry we take it out on a message and send it to the person who they are angry at. People need to realize that its okay to text for hours but we can't replace having interaction with others. There are people that ask people out over a text, yeah it's cute especially if you are shy person. But don't take it to the extreme either, others prefer to break up over a text message, I mean how lame is that? They don't want to confron the other and tell them that it's not working out. I would call this being a chicken!
Texting can also be used as another form of cheating. Two people can be in the same classroom and they are taking a test and they text each other the answer. That just wouldn't be fair to the other students. Texting in class can also be considered as disrespectful to the professor because they are trying to teach us and instead we the students are texting and thinking about something else. It is understandable that the class may be boring but how would you feel if you were giving a class and everyone were on their phone?
