Text messages are abused. They should only be used for brief logistical messages, but instead are used for personal communication. This does a couple things.
- We are never unavailable. Doesn't matter if we are in class, at dinner, alone, workings, whatever. We are always available to send and recieve text messages.
- It is difficult to be fully present in any situation when we are so easily available to others.
- We interact impersonally with others when we should interact personally.
Each of these has major consequences that could be discussed more at length, but right now I don't feel like it. Maybe a blog isn't the appropriate place?
