on texting

Alright- I just vented to a friend about this.. I didn't mean to.

Recently, I've been getting really frustrated with text messages I receive. Texting is supposed to be a convenient and quick way to get a message to someone. I read a short blog a while back, my favorite quote, that I whole heatedly agreed with: "We've already invented an incredibly efficient way to get thoughts from our brains to others - it's called speech."

So my bottom line: getting text messages that require more than a 5 word reply just bother me. I don't want to send 7 text and take 20 minutes to figure out say.. when we're going to meet to work on a project. I would prefer to simply pick up the phone and make plans and be finished and clarified in 3 minutes.

I think texting is getting out of hand. And it pisses me off.
