Texting! I'm so glad that texting got brought up. I am 33, and I can't figure out how one is supposed to communicate with friends via text message. I can make it work for short or direct conversations. But when someone is wanting to have a long, in-depth conversation over text......I'd rather just talk on the phone for an hour or two. Talking on the phone is so much easier than trying to keep up with a text conversation throughout the day.

Yes! I agree. I wonder if it is somehow related to focus- an uninterrupted listen to them - and giving them the gift of a dedicated time to focus and explore the nooks and crannies of their topic. Texting is so chopped up - not good for a "conversation".

Plus I can't type that fast or well on a phone, so I get preoccupied with that.
