What's up people
blessings to you unto have a good day dude
So what do you think about text messaging as a means of communication?
What purpose does it serve in your life? Do you ever hold deep, emotional conversations of texting, or do you completely refrain from anything other than making plans?
Texting is a relatively new phenomena in humanity. In the past, if you wanted to say something to someone, you would have had to remember it for the next time you saw them or by making a phone call, writing a letter, or sending a telegram. Faxing is pretty neat. But anyways, do those other methods seem more meaningful to you than texting?
Of course the prevailing opinion is probably that face to face interactions are superior in terms of self-expression than things like text messaging, or even placing a phone call, but is it possible to use, specifically, text messaging to genuinely express yourself?
I do, however, use text messaging to engage in casual conversation, usually about making plans, but otherwise I also like to send pictures, little thoughts here and there, a nice message: it's not always business, but it sure is personal.

I clicked all the above.
Depends on the person I'm texting I guess, with some people I'll have some long ass conversations via text and I don't mind it at all, but others it's more of a 'where are you meeting me and when' kinda deal. I don't generally like small talk(text) unless I'm into someone or don't see them much. My mom texts me to tell me about her dog constantly - like the dumbest shit too, but she also calls me up at work to tell me that I need to turn my bed around to optimize the energy/feng shui/flow in my room to get better sleep and stuff like that, and I love her so I humor her.

Same:
most often, I'm just making plans, but I really enjoy a good zinger of a text message, something that packs a punch. Recently, I held a long conversation with someone over texting about how it would be impossible for me to see them any time soon, and I explained why. Normally, I would want to hold a conversation like that over the phone as I'm sure there are a lot of emotions involved, but I used the screen as a self-defense mechanism. Kind of a cowardly thing to do, but in this case I felt it was my best option.
I do feel, however, that while texting is totally viable as a means of conversation of all kinds, it becomes less so under these two conditions: the messages being sent are trite and there is really no intention or possibility of seeing each other any time soon.
Oh btw I heard sleeping east to west, head at the eastern side, is the best for having for to the feng shui

okay, yeah cell phones are government hack devices in waiting, but let's just reverse that flow, shall we? ..cell phone jammers, anonymous coding, people have figured out some meeeeean shit to take the defensive and even the offensive in the data battles.
but are carrier pigeons really going to be any more of an effective way of communicating? I mean it's basically the same thing as a text message, just more poop and ink splotches.

It's actually a pain to type like that on my phone with autocorrect. I have to go back and fuck up every single word a second time.
