I don't take part in texting and those other things myself, so I don't really know if people put as much thought into messaging as they used to into writing letters.

Texting is a supremely secretive medium of communication - it's like passing a note - and this means we should be very careful what we use it for.

Texting is a fundamentally sneaky form of communication, which we should despise, but it is such a boon we don't care. We are all sneaks now.

Texting is a lot like an answering machine. If you don't want to talk to somebody, it's like screening your calls. To me, it's a way of communication, but not one that I favor.

Texting is apocalyptic on some level. It's a reduction of things.

Texting is fingered speech. Now we can write the way we talk.

My husband doesn't text... It's always phone calls. I like that because you hear the voice the old-fashioned way.

I don't mind if somebody texts me but I'm not a big texter, the things are too small. I don't mind if they text, '7 o'clock,' that's fine, that's logistics but, 'What's up?' Get real! Pick up a phone!

If you text someone, and you just get an emoticon back, it's over.

In the hands of a passive-aggressive person who wants to abdicate responsibility for things, texting is a great tool. You can really go nuts.
