I think that text messages really do affect the way of life in much of the society. The technology we use today is very much inclusive of cell phone usage. Much of the communication in the population is done with cell phones. Cell phones were first only used for verbal communication, but today other ways of communicating have been invented, such as text messaging. The invention of texting has allowed us to be able communicate with each other in quiet environments. This has become very common in many cases. Text messaging allows us to stay in touch with one another at almost any time of the day. This will help us to be able to maintain our relationships almost 24/7. This could also be a negative because with text messaging there should be no excuse for u to fall out of touch with anyone. For example, if a teenager is out with his friends and his mother texts him and tells him to return home, he has no other choice to obey because the text message is guarenteed. Another negative is that texting could distract a student in class. They can text their friends all day without learning a thing in class. On the other hand it could be beneficial because if something happens that is very important, a simple text can say it all. Overall, the invention of text messaging was a very important invention to the society.
