Your loss I think.
Texting is not just a frivolous activity for teens and narcissists (not necessarily your portrayal, but a very popular one here in the Zone). It's a very handy asynchronous method of communication. It comes in particularity handy for my wife and I. She is an elementary school principal so she cannot drop everything and answer the phone when I need to contact her. I coach several of my son's teams and can't always be reached right away. It's an easy way to keep on top of everything and make sure we're on the same page. We recently got my mother in law started texting as well and she loves it as she is very involved with our kids and it's an easy way to let her know when plans change or if someone needs picked up, etc.
His loss definitely.
I can't even remember how many times I've used it when I needed to communicate with my wife, parents, sister, friends, co-workers and didn't want to or couldn't pick up the phone...or neither could they...to talk to them.
Plus I can text some questions and get the answers literally before I could dial the number and get an answer.
Not to mention pictures and video's I send or receive.
It's simply a great thing...period.
And that's just texting...which you can do on any phone...the things that you can do on a Smartphone are just incredible.
I was literally tracking my parents flight home from Florida yesterday on Continentals Flight Tracker as I was at work and then on my way to pick them up and then when I was at the Airport.
Then surfed CowboysZone at the airport while I waited for them to unboard.
Wonderful.
