Default Re: Why Text Message

2 reasons:

1. I got hooked on txting in the restaurant business. While on a shift, we can't make phone calls, especially with high-maintenance tables. So the natural thing is to step out of the dining room, shoot a txt, and get the return when you get the chance to read it.

2. ...now that being said, I have friends in Cali and NYC with whom I never actually talk on the phone. We're great friends in person, but we simply don't like to talk on the phone. A phone call can be inconvenient, whereas a txtmsg you don't have time for, can be returned whenever you feel like it. Basically, it's gone the route of email. Initially a quick message to pass along information, and now a major means of communication. I even do business over txt now!
