Okay, let me text it to you. But, really, it has. We are zombies to the texting aspect of our phones. Yes, there's more, but we're just going to focus on how we would rather type out a message then talk to an actual human.
1. Face-to-Face Communication
Who hasn't texted someone before that was in the same room as you? The majority of us couldn't deny that.
2. Traditional Announcements Are Out The Door
People will no longer knock on doors or use doorbells — instead, they simply text the person inside that they are outside.
3. Surface-Level Communication
When people communicate primarily through text message, it's less likely to result in un-meaningful conversations.
4. Get To-togethers
Text invites are less personal.
5. Break Ups
It is becoming more popular to break up with someone's significant other over text message.
6. Anonymity
People can be harsh with their text message because they are behind a screen rather than speaking to a face.
7. Written Communication
People will type "U" for "you" and other such texting shortcuts which will translate into written documents that are more significant than "where ya at?"
8. Basic Laziness
People will spend 30 minutes typing out a paragraph text message but when it would be easier to just call.
9. Receive Immediate Updates
Campuses can be safer because of text alerts — and, if there is bad weather, you can get text messages alerting you if the storm is on its way.
10. Distraction
It can distract people while they are driving and lead to an accident. It can and has.
