Phone Call vs. Texting

Do you remember when you used to be on the phone for hours and hours talking to who ever? Now that texting has become so popular less and less people are talking over the phone. People prefer to text conversations for hours or at least I do. Personally I prefer to text for hours instead of talking to someone. Yeah it is sort of a bad thing because you have less interaction with other people but then again it's up to you what you prefer. I hardly ever call anyone well maybe only my parents but even with them I text message them. It's a simpler and easier thing to do especially when you are unable to answer a call, instead you send a text.  Maybe this doesn't relate much but in homes, most people don't even have house phones anymore, well I don't. There was a time when every teenager wanted their own phone in their room and now that is a thing in the pass. Every teenager has a cell phone, EVEN KIDS have phones! We rely on our cell phones so much! We feel so lost when we leave our phones at home or even when we run out of battery on them! It's crazy how sometimes our lives depend on these things! Yeah it is a bit exaggerating but come on it's the truth! But going back to the subject...who makes phone calls anymore??? Phone calls are important too when it is an emergency but like I had said we prefer to text. There are statistics that show that that s teenager will sent an average of about 2272 text messages per month and will only make about 200 calls that month. And nationally about 75 billion text messages are sent in a year! Well we can see hear what teens prefer to do, it is a pretty high number of texters.
