The next decade....what's in store?

Texting

Island Spice had a blog entry about texts she received in the middle of the night from a fella.

First of all, I am relatively new to this texting thing. Maybe about 1.5 years. Didn't know how to do it before someone showed me. Can't say that I am a big texter, or indeed, user of a cell phone. I just don't know that many people, am never rushing around to meetings or caught in traffic or anything like that, so it is used only when necessary.

But at the point I read IS's blog entry, I had about 100 incoming texts in my Inbox. Most from one number.

Texting has its uses. Like now, while I am delayed in the airport, I can be texting (except that I did, but it don't seem to be wuking cause ah don't get no answer from both numbers I texted to). I don't like being disturbed from my sleep, so I would also be annoyed as IS was, if a text comes while you are enjoying a few Zzzzs. To prevent that, I put my phone on Silent when I go to bed. Not Vibrate, because that will wake me up.

But I have to say, that it's nice after turning during your sleep, you open your eyes to see the blue lighted envelope flashing.

The trivial texts I can do without, especially if it's not from a bonafide. But I certainly like seeing the envelope, get excited, and get pissed if it's a B-mobile generic message!

Ok.....gone to text. l8tr!
