we get 100s of one lines why take a look at this.

Texting has, in many ways, made communication easier by helping people avoid long, unpleasant phone conversations and making a quick “Hello” much easier. According to the Pew Research Center, 72% of teenagers text regularly, and one in three sends more than 100 texts per day. Clearly texting is the preferred method of communication among young people, and that trend is moving upward toward adults, who are also texting much more frequently. While texting hasn’t been around long enough for researchers to study its long-term effects on communication, there is circumstantial evidence that it is rapidly altering the ways people communicate with one another both via text and in person.

Face-to-Face Communication

Texting encourages rapid-fire, single-sentence thoughts, but this style of communication isn’t conducive to face-to-face communication. Consequently, people who text a lot may be more uncomfortable with in-person communication and may even use their cell phones to communicate with people who are in their presence. Parents often report that their teens text during dinner, and the friend who texts during a night out is a common phenomenon. The reality may be not that these people are being rude but that they are uncomfortable with slow-paced in-person communication.

Why spend time writing a long nice well thought out message just for it to be ignored ? Just saying

It's only going to get worse with apps like WhatsApp and Viber allowing people to text for free.

I've been a victim to the text in the same house syndrome. It's so convenient sometimes.

Will fully admit to being uncomfortable in face to face social situations. I'm also uncomfortable to the point of being phobic of talking on the phone (I hardly ever do it), but I also mostly dislike lengthy text message conversations, only person I communicate with via text/kik regularly is my partner. If I get a message from a friend as with one particular friend I often just get a 'hey' I look at my phone and think 'hey what? What do you want from me??' Would much rather she said what she wanted and I could answer and it would be over....

I am at my most communicative in chat rooms I think, but I don't put it down to 'growing up' with computers and mobile phones, I didn't first access the internet at home till I was 17 and didn't have a mobile till I was 18. Think I'm just socially inept.

"slow-paced in-person communication.

"

I've never thought of face to face communication that way. I actually feel far more comfortable chatting to people in person than I do on here, as conversation feels more natural and organic.

Over the rainbow, under the bridge

Latest brain research shows that teenage brains are different to adult brains. In social situations they are not as able to pick up non-verbal clues as an adult. So, that might be one reason why they feel more comfortable with texting.

It also means that when you are sending subtle signals to your teen kids - they just don't get it! They're not necessarily being awkward! OK - sometimes they are! But not always.

Sending/receiving a text gives you time to think of a reply. That's why it's easier to ask someone out on a date by text than to ring/speak to them. In person you will immediately give facial/body clues and even a pause would speak volumes.

If your kids text you in the home you really ought to ignore them, you are teaching them very bad, even rude habits

If the text conversation gets detailed or intonation, i prefer to make the call and talk in person.

Texting is ok for short messages, but you can't beat a good chat!

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

I think we're just going to have to start understanding that the next generation do things differently to us. I prefer texting to calling. I don't know why - I used to be a BT CSA ffs. But if I swap numbers on here I always warn them to text me as I am uncomfortable with speaking on the phone. Its a cheap (often free!) and easy way to stay in touch with people.

Sure, if texting affects grammar and spelling in every day life then there may be something to complain about, but my daughter is perfectly literate. I think of texting as a separate language really.

However, if a grown man messages me something along the lines of 'wnt 2 fk?' then its a one way ticket to deletesville. There is no longer a character limit on texts so there is no excuse.

Text speak drives me up the wall, BUT not as much as these muppets who walk across the road in front of vehicles without looking cos they have their heads down texting!!

I think we should be legally allowed to run these idiots over!!

So is punctuation and, of course, capitalisation, to make the aforementioned missive legible.

Your opinion of what maybe thought out could be very different to someone else's. For example a nice introductory message, referencing something in your profile to illicit a response and hopefully progress to a conversation could be construde by you as well thought out and yet by others as dull and not worthy of response. That is part of the challenge for all on here, how amongst the thousands of people looking to make an impression do you stand out? For sure you are never going to appeal to everyone. All part of life's rich tapestry. I will remain true to my approach which is polite, hopefully written in understandable language and people who I may get on with will hopefully reply.

main advantage to texting is the full message is available for the recipient no matter when you send it and they view it,other than leaving a answerphone message/voicemail,voice contact doesn't offer this
