I think anyone that doesn't like it or understands its usefulness is probably an old fuddy-duddy.
Put me down as as fuddy duddy who refuses to communicate like a 11-year-old girl.
I don't respond to text messages.

I was born in '82 so for all intents and purposes I shoud be hip to this whole text messageing thing, but I am like the first poster. Just pick up the phone i dont want to sit here and spell out what i can tell you in one breath and save us both the agony of a 20 minute text session. I have many friends from college that you call and call and call, and wont answer but you send them a text and they respond immediately ******* weirdos. I guess i fall in the 26 y/o fuddy duddy crowd.
It...doesn't require intellectual or emotional investment.
If you don't need this investment why should this conversation be going on in the first place? Texting or otherwise? Texting just promotes more interaction that is pointless because it is easier than calling someone up.
I guess my only experience with texting has been socially. For business I am either talking on the phone or writing an email on the computer.
Text messages are awful. However, women born after 1985 communicate obsessively through texts. Voicemail will go unanswered, texts will be replied to in minutes. They are a necessary evil when dealing with the opposite sex.
Is anyone else completely sick of text messages. Instead of calling someone up and saying what you need to say, you trade a series of text messages that last 30 minutes when the conversation would have only lasted like 2 minutes. Or you are talking to someone, and there phone goes off and they try to carry on conversation while they are typing out something on their phone.
