Texting Frenzy

              Texting has become one of todays most used ways of communication. Even though it’s not very popular with older people, younger generations and teenagers have really adopted it. It has really become a more efficient way to communicate. A simple text message can be much easier to send than email, and much less time consuming than a phone call. I can see how many people can find texting useful. Doctors can use them to get informed of an emergency, replacing the popular “pagers” from the nineties. It is mainly more popular with teenagers though because of them being more social. Even though texting has been around for a long time, it just barely became popular in the last couple of years. Cell phone companies have made this movement easier by introducing cell phones made specifically for texting. Cell phones with full keyboards have really paved the way for this movement. Cellular service companies have also contributed by providing unlimited texting plans to go along with the newest phones. Even though it is really efficient, it also has a downfall. Like many good things in life it can also be a bad thing. Many fatal accidents have occurred in recent years due to texting while driving. This has led to many deaths and in turn, many new laws against texting while driving being established in many states.
