Incomplete ideas.
In a world of instant connectivity, many consider texting back and forth a form of communication. It is not. Texting is merely one person trying to say what they want in 160 characters or less.
Recently I was watching a friend attempt to coordinate a small get-together with several people. I could see her frustration growing with every text exchanged. The texting back and forth was not reaching to the level of ‘communication’ necessary to make the event happen. Finally, after a dozen texts back and forth, I looked at my frustrated friend and asked, “Would it be beneficial to call them?”
With an accepting smirk and a sigh of relief, she agreed and the gathering was established almost immediately.
Texting is a weak form of communication; Good for information but not communication.
Next time you find yourself in Text Frustration, perhaps your Big Brain should send the next Text: “Call Me”
