Textin Pt. 2

As you all know by reading my blog “Textin” that I believe that it is a technology for ignorant people that doesn’t plug into anything because ignorant people who use it have nothing to print. This idea was only strengthened by reading “Rule of Thumbs: Love in the Age of Texting”. Texting in my opinion has a lot in common with Myspace. It is the new “booty call”. Having said that there’s not much in it to bulid a relationship off of. Of course it could have its benefits: telling the person that you have feelings for that you have feelings for them without the fear of studdering, or sending random suggestive texts as a form of foreplay until you see them later on. But an entire relationship built off of texting, where the person can constantly revise what they text or let their friends tell them what to say? That’s just rediculous to me. Like somebody texting “will u marry me?”. I would be tempted to just text them a porno and say, “Sure, here’s your honeymoon”.

  1. Hahaha! That's brilliant what you said about the honeymoon...
    And I'm in agreement with you here. You definitely cannot rely on texting or on any form of technology to hide behind while building a real relationship. But there's nothing wrong with using it appropriately.
