43TEXT MESSAGING
Do you like texting?Yeah, I love texting. It gives me a kind of freedom that calling doesn’t. first of all, I can answer at the most convenient time for me. And, on many occasions, I can type a message along with anything else I’m doing. I can text while cooking, watching a film or listening to some lecture or presentation. Another thing that I like is that I can have multiple conversations at once. Also, texting gives me time to think and formulate my response. So it’s less stressful than talking. Finally, with text message, everyone has a readily retrievable transcript of the conversation, whereas phone conversations can be difficult to follow. I mean it’s a lot more clear when you are talking about details such as an address, aphone number, a price or a specific time
Do you prefer sending or receiving messages?It’s hard to choose between the two because it all depends on the situation. If I have something indispensable to share with someone, I initiate a conversation through sending text messages, and if I celebrate a milestone in life like my birthday or achievement, I love receiving heart-warming messages from my loved ones or friends as I feel valued. I can’t choose between the two.
Have you ever received a confusing text message?Oh yeah,yeah, I received tons of hilarious auto correct messages. They were funny, but difficult to decode. So texting turned into a guessing game. Also, I received messages that were clearly meant for someone else. I was feeling confused’ cause I didn’t know whether I had to respond. Finally, I always felt confused when I asked a question expecting to get a detailed answer, but got one- worded texts such as ” ok” . cool or great instead. And when I got such messages, I just couldn’t understand whether the other person was sincerely busy, stressed out or didn’t really care that much
In what circumstances is making a call better than sending a text message?I believe emergencies or something that needs urgent attention because we cannot delay informing someone as the situation might get worse, especially if it’s something dangerous. Making a phone call is the faster way to get the attention of the person that’s involved than texting. ______I think situations like telling someone good or bad news because we want the other person to know things directly and clearly from us. Also, it’s better to call someone, if we want to share something confidential or our personal problem as texting is not really advisable as the message might be read or seen by others.
