So, some quick thoughts on texting. I'm going to: (1) try to be brief, (2) try to make sense, and (3) try to provoke some serious itrospection and such.

Does texting make you feel more connected to people?

Have you ever considered how your relationships are different with or without texting?
-- How deep, interesting, fun they are/were?

When was the last time you spent an evening with someone? Just one person?
When there are five people eating together and someone is texting someone who is 200 miles away, is that person more connected or less?

I think that it is important for people to be connected to each other, yeah, but it is also important for people to be alone sometimes.
Balance? Contrast?


I'll maybe go more into detail about this l8r. (: I know that this philosophy pretty much works for me. I forget my phone in different places all the time. Sometimes, it's nice. (My phone also has a pretty sweet 'hackey sack' function, but that's another story.) I'm interested to know your thoughts. I'll go into detail,I guess, in the comments.
