[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, couldn't agree with you more.

Not only is texting stupid when you could hit 10 numbers and actually speak with the person, but I've seen more relationships soured (including mine with my sister) over a misunderstood text conversation.

And 10:20 -- in 15 minutes when the new big thing comes out, you'll be calling people who "still" text grandma. Grow up.[/quote]

It totally depends on the context of the information you need to convey. It's much faster for my husband to text me that he's leaving work then it is for him to dial, wait for me to answer, then tell me he's leaving. And since he's often leaving at a time I have my hands full with a baby, I can just get the text when I have a free moment and don't need to see that I have a voicemail, call into voicemail to check the message, etc. If he's somewhere noisy (like waiting for a train) we don't have to deal with background noise or bad connections.

If someone needs to tell me a phone number, or a url, or the name of a company or something, a text is also easier because I don't have to write it down while I'm on the phone, it's there in my text history whenever I'm ready to use it.

For discussions--sure, phone is better. But there are a lot of things for which texting is easier. [/quote]
