Text Benefits

Text messaging is probably my favorite thing about cell phones and this article tells about some of the great things benefits of using text messaging but it forgot a few. I’m not one for staying with my face pressed up against the phone for hours upon hours. I’m a say what you’ve got to say type of girl. I hate it when people call and have absolutely nothing to say. I also use text messaging when talking on the phone just won’t work. Like when my mom needs my account number to put money in my account but I’m in class. I just shoot her a quick text and call it a day or when I’m at work and need a friend to drop off my lunch.

Text messaging is also great for keep track of your life. I get my bank account updates text messaged to me. When I get a message on MySpace or Facebook it comes right to my phone. When there’s an emergency announcement on campus it comes straight to my phone. If there is bad weather heading in my direction I get a text giving me the heads up.

Text messaging is also great for socially situations. You need to tell someone something but don’t actually want to talk to them or be lured into a conversation, you send them a text message and keep it short a simple. If you don’t want to talk to someone you simply don’t answer their text. Maybe you have something you need to tell a friend but don’t need everyone else around to hear it ( i.e. I can see your underwear through your dress), you just send them a text and no one knows what it says but you and her. Sure text messaging just may be the death of correct spelling and grammar in America but man do I love it!
