When you look around at society now, you see most of them are one there phones even if there is someone right next to them. People on a date will just sit at the table one there devices, not paying attention to whatever is going on around them and people in the same room will text each other instead of talking to them. Texting and talking are the same and different in many ways. One way they are similar is that they both use words to communicate information.

For starters, they are both ways of communicating with one or many persons. They also both use words to communicate and are used in the everyday life of an average person. Take the average teenage life for example, every day they talk to their friends at school and their family at home. When they are at home they text their friends and when they are away from home they text their parents and friends. Teenagers sometimes also text each other when they are in the same room as the other person. Texting and talking are also different in many ways. One way they are different is the way they communicate the information. Texting is usually used when people are not in the near vicinity of each other and still want to communicate and they use a phone, iPod, or iPad to communicate. Talking can be used when people are close together or far apart. When they are close together they talk face to face with using their mouths and ears to communicate. When they are far apart they can either shout or talk through a phone. Other ways they are different are the range at which they can communicate and how they talk using these forms of communication. When people text they sometimes use text talk. Text talk consists of emoticons and abbreviations. If you wanted to say I love you for example, you could say ILY or I luv
When you receive a text, you do not have to respond immediately. This can be beneficial for people who have trouble processing other people talking to them, for people in other countries, and for delicate situations. For people with slow processing, texting means being able to engage in active conversation, without having to keep track of what people are saying and struggling to understand what somebody is saying. This is because texting leaves a list of what somebody is saying, and so instead of misunderstanding someone in casual conversation you have exactly what someone is saying in written word. For people in other countries, it could be 2 am where they are, and noon where the person they’re communicating with is.

Texting has become the normal way of communicating with others in this generation. This is scary because to be completely honest, even though I know I am attached to my phone, I do realize that certain conversations I am having via text would be more effective and personal if I were to pick up the phone and call the person rather than being limited to 130 characters of letters onto a screen. One cannot understand the others tone of voice through a simple text message which is why some relationships and friendships are ruined due to texting.
When you are texting, you can tell the person whom you are speaking to what you are feeling without having to utter a single word. Most texts are written in shortened words,
Texting is very impersonal and not a substitute for real conversations because you cannot see the other person’s expressions and emotions. Texting each other is also not the same as having a real conversation because the definition of a conversation is “the informal exchange of spoken words” according to the dictionary. You cannot tell if they thrilled, uncomfortable, or sad because you cannot hear them. People lose interest in each other without real conversations (Psycentral’s article 5). This leads to a decline in real friendships or relationships. Sure you can text 50 different people at once, but you cannot replicate a real conversation with any of those people. The more you text your friends, rather than really conversing with each other, the more you’re isolating yourself from real
Verbal communication refers to when you have a verbal conversation or verbally tell, or ask someone something. Texting affects this type of communication in the way that sometimes we tend to talk as if we were texting and we are not. For example, when we are laughing with our friends instead of actually laughing we tend to say “LOL”. This type of communication is really important
I really don’t like writing! But I love texting. I also love talking but I don’t like speaking. Speaking doesn’t always let me express my inner deep thoughts and my true emotions. It’s hard to speak because everywhere in life you will get judged for saying the wrong thing. But texting to one of my friends is the easiest thing possible cause I can really just say what I want to and get straight to the point. Texting uses everyday words and abbreviates them into less complex words so that your thoughts and opinions can be looked at by others with ease. For instance if you was speaking to a friend and said “Hey wats sup, r u busy rn”? It is more comfortable to have written that because it’s less time consuming and more approachable. This texting language helps a lot of people get more socially comfortable and socially accepted because this texting can shorten a paragraph to usually couple sentences. Being socially accepted can be an enormous step for many and the more you are accepted the better you will feel as a person. Although you can also be judged by the way you text is also true, most times that is not a factor to people because Texting can help the individuals who wouldn 't have the confidence to approach or be able to speak to someone for instance in the other gender , alternately who need shakier interpersonal skills, Abstain from conceivably distressing encounters. We realize being a tease be enormously awkward; Texting is frequently all the loaded
Texting can be fun when you are texting your friend. When texting too much or being on social media too much, you might say the wrong word send the wrong text and it might blow up in your face.

Instant gratification has become the social norm in this generation but is diminishing the quality of communication. Cell phones have changed massively in the past few years, making communication weaken each time cell phones are updated. At first, cell phones were just used for calling. Calling was the only operation that they were capable of and most of the time calling was not even convenient on a cell phone. Although the concept of texting has been out for decades, actual texting became available to all society in 1994 (Turrettini). Texting instantly
Texting has many effects. When I think of texting many dangerous and unethical behaviors come to mind. We all know texting has a brief history, many people prefer texting to talking on the phone, and texting has its own problems when misuse. When we are texting communication is lost and is in considered of others and mostly affecting people’s health.
Mobile phones have become a crucial part of our society today. The increasing number of texts and phone calls is alarming. Texting and calling have become popular ways of communication. Over the past twenty years, there has probably been more texts sent and received than calls. Although texting may be faster, more organized, and convenient, it also takes full concentration, has a delayed response, and emotion or sarcasm is hard to detect. Calling, on the other hand, can be more personal, more information and detail can be communicated, and an immediate response is received. Even though there are many benefits of calling, there are also some downsides. For example, the receiver might not answer, more personal conversations take longer, and words and thoughts are on the spot. Calling and texting both can be good ways of communication, it all depends on the point you are trying to portray.
When it comes to communication, before the smartphone, there were of course the less popular cordless phones. Which, according to my mother were unpopular due to their bulky size and complexity paired with a ugly large antenna. Then there were smaller cell phones which were a bit more popular but usually had other limitations such as small keypads with corresponding letters to numbers, or limits on call distances, and sometimes limited text and talking minutes. Communication is power and should not be limited or difficult for anyone. While before any of this, communication was even harder with hand written letters, which lacked auto correct, and could take a good length of time before arriving to the recipient. Most smartphone plans now are unlimited to communication and are almost an instantaneous connection from one person to another for means of discussion. With smartphones the size is perfect for your pocket while still being big enough for you to see and type on a full size keyboard to communicate in the now popular form “texting” even including emojis to express emotions.
The idea of text message is to have a quick conversation with someone, possibly at a time when the recipient cannot talk on the phone or face to face. People tend to use the most improper grammar when communicating through text messaging because you use more and more acronyms instead of tying the whole word or phrase out. Basically, people are trying to find the effortless way to explain their self, which in some cases is not a clever idea.
