Y U LUV Texts, H8 Calls

Some excerpts with some editing:

  • Seen as rude to call someone
  • Teens are texting in class and not learning
  • We are all "consumed by technology"
  • Some don't like texting...too easy to contact you
  • Hard to have a serious conversation
  • Huge distraction at work
  • Don't care where my cell is as long as I can see it
  • Conversational emphasis is missing
  • What's with all this sharing constantly?
  • Privacy issues
  • The lost "art" of face-to face conversation
  • Texting causes misunderstandings
  • Sharing events like the death of someone by texting is not good
  • I don't speak as clearly as I used to; my vobaulary is affected
  • Phone calls are faster!
  • Can't get in a car without texting someone in 5 minutes
  • It's a lot quieter since peole stopped talking
  • Meetings and parties will change
  • Speech classes may be needed so that people can keep up with art of talking
  • Phome is like a security blanket. i look at it at awkward or weird times
  • Texting language is bleeding into professional world
  • Interpersonal skills are devolving (unravelling)
  • Parents and thie kids contantly in touch (is that good?)
  • Better life flow with texting
  • Join or be isolated
  • Change happened very suddenly
  • Calling is viewed as rude and invasive
  • My phone is under my pillow right now (an alarm clock)
