“The Never Call: There are some people who love to text so much that the phone part of their cell phone has become completely obsolete. They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re like Tobias Funke the never-nude from Arrested Development, except instead of refusing to take off the last bit of clothing for a completely irrational reason, they are scared of a wonderful and time-honored mode of communication.”<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The Nine Types of Text Messaging Monsters – Texting – Gawker<\/a><\/p>\n

oh that is me. to a tee.<\/p>\n

I am one of those people. But let me explain something to you. The telephone was an aberation in human development. It was a 70 year or so period where for some reason humans decided it was socially acceptable to ring a loud bell in someone else\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s life and they were expected to come running, like dogs. This was the equivalent of thinking it was okay to walk into someone\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s living room and start shouting. it was never okay. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s less okay now. Telephone calls are rude. They are interruptive. Technology has solved this brief aberration in human behavior. We have a thing now called THE TEXT MESSAGE. It is magical, non-intrusive, optional, and, just like human speech originally was meant to be, is turn based and two way. You talk. I talk next. Then you talk. And we do it when it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s convenient for both of us. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
