Texting, Bad or Good

When it comes to texting, people either love it, hate it, or honorable dont even try because they may feel that they are too old for that young people stuff. Some people result promote it as one of the easiest ways to communicate or consider it a waste of time and murderous to the English language. I, for one, consider it a pardon and a curse. I can see both sides of the subject.I do agree that people shouldnt text in some situations or places where it is considered rude, dangerous, or where it would take away from the human interaction that people need to mentally survive. Some may argue that with the rise of texting, it has hindered our grammar, the way we interact with another(prenominal)s, and possibly our chore relations. I used to be a cashier at a grocery store, and from a personal point of view, when the customers were on their cell phone, it made my employment as a cashier rough to do.When that happens, the person isnt paying attention because they are busy texting or talking to someone on their phone. It made the rent out difficult because you were trying to provoke their attention for a payment method and sometimes had to repeat yourself two or three times. Then, other customers waiting get impatient and look at you like you arent doing your job in a speedy fashion. On the other hand, texting can be great and beneficial in some situations. Ive been in some situations where it was easier to send a text message.At my church I either play the piano or Im in the sound booth doing the Media for service. From the sound booth to the platform, its at least one hundred feet or more. There bring in been occasions where people on the platform and sound booth needed to tell each other some liaison about the sound or some other situation. It was easier and faster to send a text message to each other rather than trying to read facial expressions or hand signals. All in all, texting is what you make of it.There are some situations in which you need to hav e respect and not text, such as classrooms, church, and driving in your automobile for example. The thing to do is use common sense and think, Is this safe? Is this respectful to others? If I were teaching, would I be okay with peoples attention being divided? Most of all, we need to just use our brain and use moderation. We can survive without our phones. Our society survived for hundreds of years without mobile devices. Im pretty legitimate we could too if we had to.
