Texting has become such a huge part of our everyday life hasn’t it? Before technology advances you would have to write a letter on a piece of paper with a No.2 pencil. Then you put the letter in the mail and wait and wait and wait for a response, which in some cases never came. Today, it is instant. No waiting (Well unless your service is down), the person you messaged gets it at that same moment. What a wonderful invention…texting. Or is it?
Are we using texting for impacting others or just wasting our life away with non-impacting nonsense? According to many researchers and fact finding companies the total number of text messages sent globally tripled between 2007 and 2010, from an estimated 1.8 trillion to a staggering 6.1 trillion. In other words, close to 200,000 text messages are sent every second. The estimates for 2011 were 7 trillion messages. Young adults today between the age of 18 to 24 average 109 messages a day…yep that is a day!
So out of those trillion messages how many were really needed? How many of those made an impact on someone’s life?
This posting is rather short, but I want you to really think about how you use texting in your life and others. Are you using it to impact others or just wasting time?
The Choice is your’s…
