Messaging
Text messaging is the performance
of typing and sending a transitory electronic message between two or more
mobile phones. Initially, the term referred to messages sent using the Short Message
Service (SMS). Now, it has grown to include messages containing images and sound
contents known as MMS messages.
Some people consider
personal conversation intrusive and disturbing so they preferred text messages
or emails. When you call on a person, you do not know what he is doing; if he
is busy or free. So, when you call in on him, he has to answer through he does
not feel comfortable talking. Thus, we force him to talk to us. On the other hand,
text poses no such compulsion. He will read the message when he is free or he
wants to see and reply. Thus, texting is something that you can control
utterly.
Personal conversations
are somewhat time-consuming as compared to text messages. Thus, many people
now like to text. Those who text, they save their time and talk exactly what
they want to talk about. The text no more than what is needed. Then sending our text
is very convenient. You can send a text message whenever you like or wherever you
are. You can text even if you are in a meeting or in the car or in the market
or anywhere else. And you can also keep your secrecy as well. This texting is regarded as somewhat sophisticated and useful.
Some people say that
text messaging can be negative. They say that it is damaging writing skills and
expression as people have become very informal in writing text messages. Text
messages are in fact colloquial conversation. Thus, those who make excessive
use of texting may lose the literary visage of their writing expression.
Some people are of the
opinion that sending text messages particularly among youngsters has become
somewhat immoral. They send immoral messages which they could not utter during a personal conversation.
