Texting-Important and Fun

Texting is a lot of fun because we can be well communicated with whoever we want. We can talk to others without really talking to them, so other people are not able to hear a private conversation in public. Also, texting can be used to quickly remind someone of where to pick up something they need where silence is required and speaking on the phone is not allowed-places like the library. That way if people are studying, no one would be bothered by someone else’s phone conversation. Another reason why texting is useful, is when someone is at a party and they get call. The call can be ignored, but immediately answered by a text. That way the partier does not have to worry about not being able to hear what the caller is saying, and the caller does not worry about all the music and the noise in the background of their conversation.
            However, even though we may not put much thought into it, having the privilege to text may be a necessity at some point in someone’s life. For example, in case of an emergency. For instance, if someone breaks into someone’s house and they find a place to hide, it is probably safer to text someone for help, rather than calling someone and running the risk of being heard and found by the intruder. Another type of emergency in which a text may be more useful, might be when someone goes missing. Especially, because in order to file a missing person report with the police, there is a specific procedure to follow before doing so. A text may be the difference between finding that person dead or alive. Sometimes, finding them at all because some people are never found, or if they are found, it could be after years have passed by and usually by then it is too late.
            Also, texting should only be used if done so wisely. Even though most of us want to text back as soon as, we received the message, it is not always the right thing to do. For instance, if we are driving we should wait to answer the message until the appropriate time, in order to try and prevent an accident. Also, we should not text where it is not allowed because all our actions have consequences.
