Cell phones

I really feel like cell phones and text messaging our destroying the way we communicate with eacth other. For example, whenever you need something quick done or you just want to mention something briefly, most people from my generation are going to text message. It's not only for small things that people text about but people text about going out on dates, setting up events, etc. There is no personal one on one communication anymore. You no longer have to be good at conversing with people, but all you have to do now is be aware of what lingo or words are 'in' and use them in a text. People are no longer directly communicating. You can not tell whether someone is happy or sad or emotionless in a text message. All you get to see is some sort of electronic emotion, not really what the people are feeling. When talking to someone on the phone, you get a sense of how some one feels by the way they react to what you say. It is also easier to tell via phone if the person you are talking to is genuine or not. On text messages you have no idea how the person you are texting really feels. It is so much easier for people to hide their emotions because they can take as much time as they want to respond and respond they way they so chose, not necessarily how they feel. There is no warmth in electronics, but limitless emotions in human beings.
