Can't get past Textnology...

It's becoming a texting world, and Hubby is trying to cope.

Personally, I like text messaging. I never was a telephone talker, even as a teen. I can't explain it, I just hate calling people. In fact, even though I have a full contact list of names on my phone the only one I ever actually talk to is Hubby. Everyone else I text. Okay okay I occasionally call Mom too.

But texting is so quick and easy. No having to stop and carry on a long drawn-out conversation. My friends and I can banter quick simple quips back and forth without it hardly slowing our daily tasks that we're in the middle of.

It seems it's becoming more commonplace in the business world as well. Within the last couple years both Hubby and I have had bosses who insisted on sending info and asking questions in text form. It was fine by me.

Hubby on the other hand hates it. That should be no surprise, as he's a "talker." He'll call anybody anytime about anything, and chat away. But now he's being forced to face the texting world, and become part of it. He has to communicate with the up-and-coming technology generation that he'll be graduating with. Several of his university classmates already send him texts about joint team projects, homework, etc. I text him about where I parked the car after dropping him off outside his first class. We're all pulling him kicking and screaming into the texting world.

So, we decided that when we next upgrade our 2yo cellphones, we'll have to get the full alpha-numeric keypads. The trick will be finding keys large enough for his big fingers, lol.

But the one thing we both agree on, we SPELL OUT our words. No abbreviated grammatical rebus txt 4 us, thx. Well gtg, C U L8r!
