Now, as I have grown up in this technology obsessed world of ours, I have noticed that technology was getting smaller and more convenient to use. One of the prime examples was the "cellular telephone" which was popularized in the early 2000's and is still useful to this day. Let me give you a run down: YOU CAN FUCKING TALK INTO A PIECE OF PLASTIC AND A GUY ACROSS THE WORLD CAN HEAR YOU. Yes, that. We invented cross global voice communication. Now, in recent years, these Cell phones have become integrated with this seemingly meh invention called texting, and what it is is basically a stripped down e-mail accessed from the phone. Good in theory, No? What if I told you that the teens that I go to school have somehow become addicted to shooting poorly spelled messages to the person across the fucking room from them. Yes, ACROSS THE GODDAMN ROOM! That, my dear ladies and gentlemen of the escapist is what I am so confused about: What is the allure of going backwards technologically? It certainly isn't easier or more intuitive, it takes longer to send and for the recipient to proccess, and it is an insidious nuciance wherever you may go.
Whew, feels good to spout a rant.
EDIT: Another thing I despise is when people go " Durr... Did you get my text, because I am going to assume that you enjoy typing with your thumbs on a cramped pad as much as I do, because it is obvious that my shitty spelling is a superior alternative to just getting off my lazy ass to call you."
NOTE: I am 15, not some crotchety old guy who goes off on the "Back in my day..." speech.
