TEXTING

Its amazing..... PC's were all the rage 10 years ago. Then the laptop came on the scene. Now? Well its the smart phones. From anywhere a person that has one can post blogs, such as this one, upload pictures, check email, instant message and of course the most popular, text. Its funny, my oldest son who is 16 has "unlimited texting" on his phone. For 20 bucks a month he can text until his fingers turn blue. I was with him and some of his friends a couple of weeks ago (yes he let me go !! LOL) and, get this, they were not talking, they were texting!!!!! then I looked up and saw about a hundred other people doing the same thing. Then something really funny happened. i saw a young man walking out of the door and he just about triped over a lady because he was texting. He didn't miss a beat, he said (with out looking up) "sorry bout that" and kept on texting away. Recently i had to take the phone away from my teen (another story) and what I have found out is amazing. he has something to say!! He actually talks. He is creative, conversational and listens really well. So, i have told him that when he gets his phone back that he will look up and see the world around him, because it will pass you by while you pass it by texting. Well i guess i better close this blog, i have a text that's coming in. Just a thought.....
