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.
