Please don’t use your laptop behind the wheel.
I tire of the zero lane discipline. It wrecks my buzz when I’m riding . . .
then why do you do it??? Will accept limited calls during emergency circumstances such as when our water heater let go last week.
My wife will tell you that I think texting is a four letter word.
I’ve got a smart phone and a tablet, which I use to read FR and other websites I like. But I refuse to sign in on one of those devices, due to the extreme difficulty involved with using them to input written text.
Like you, I’ll be using my desktop to post from until the day they pry my dirty old keyboard from my nicotine stained hands.
I do not hear well. I love texting. I also love having a record of what was said.
.
Right on!
The ‘keyboard’ on my Galaxy S5 is flaky and imprecise, causing numerous corrections, especially when I try to pick the word it offers.
.
WhatsApp solves these concerns quite nicely, as 10’s of millions around the world have discovered.
I like text messages. I have a machine shop and it is very noisy. So if someone needs to know something or I need to get in touch with someone I send a quick note. I don’t have to stop what I am doing or find a quiet spot.
You know who really got screwed in the whole txt’n thing?
Think way back.. The pager came out, it beeped, you called the office. Then the digital pager came out, it beeped and displayed a number and you called them..
Then the 2 way pager came along, it was txt’n in the 90s with one small problem.
The mobile phone dropped with in a year.
Now, what, 15 years later? we are txt’n...
Dudes idea peeked 15 years to early.
me, too. I hate smart phones. I love my laptop, tablet, have done some programming, photo editing for work, format hard drives, could build my own PC and will be replacing the broken monitor on my son’s laptop, so it’s not a tech thing. It’s a tiny picture thing. I also hate not having a mouse on a laptop. Oh, did I say I don’t like Google wanting access to every stinking file on my phone when I want to download an app? Forget it, google. Go txt yourself.
Maybe sexting is a better alternative???
LOL!
oh
Give your brain a break and don’t play the dumbing down game.
BUT, nearly everyone in my life now ONLY communicates by text. It drives me frikking insane. My brother sends me epic book length texts and seemingly wants to go back and forth 100 rounds to communicate what would take 5 minutes on the phone. My sister too. I have zero patience for a texting session that goes more than 4-5 rounds. Pick up the frikking phone at that point. I don't have time for that.
Texting keeps me in touch with my young adult children. It’s a good thing for me!
So don’t. The only texts I’ve sent or received were while testing the software I work on. Life is pretty straightforward when you let it be. Don’t want to text, don’t.
