It's fun to text and talk to your friends, family members, and other people you know. Texting is very popular, it's helpful and there's good thing about text messaging and talking.
Text messaging is so popular because you can talk and text message to your best friends, family members, mom, dad, etc. It's a constant way to feel connected in the lonely world that we inhabit. You can also talk to them. Another reason is that you need it for emergencies that way your safe and your out of danger and maybe someone is following you and you wanna call someone and tell them. This simple "need for texting" increases its popularity. The last reason why texting and talking is so popular is because its fun. You might have have fun games you can play. You can also have a picture phone and just take pictures of friends and maybe yourself.
Texting and talking can be good. Some reasons why it can be good is that your friend might know something you wanna find out about. Sometimes you might need information about something you need help on. Maybe you need information about a friend or somethings happening that you wanna know about. One last reason why it can be good is that you can get advice. Sometimes you need to tell a friend that your having a bad day. Your friend can give you advice on something your having a problem with.
Despite the need to text, there are some dangers. One reason why it might be bad is that someone can track you down. People that know how to do that can hurt you. Another way it can be bad is that you can get it taken away. Someone might just grab your phone and just take it. That can cause some problems and potentially identity theft. You can get it taken away by texting in class when your not suppose to. And one last reason why it can be bad is you can get in trouble. You can in trouble by getting caught texting in class. Your parents might take your phone away and that's not good. Texting while driving can be dangerous and cause accidents.
But the biggest danger is that people don't relate physically anymore. We spend all of our time texting that we don't talk. It's a subtle danger, but it's still dangerous. So, should we avoid it? It's not much of a choice. Texting is a part of our life. Should we think about how often we're texting? Yeah, that might be the answer.
