This Question Is Answered:
 What Is Texting?
I know what texting is, I just don't understand why it is so popular. Or is this one of those things which I am never meant to understand such as the inherent differences between men and women? Truthfully, if a friend informed me he had discovered a new, exciting form of communication and produced an old manual typewriter I would see to it he was introduced to a mental facility. Instantaneous communication? We see the benefits of this almost daily in another accident caused when a texter or cell user was distracted while driving.

 People my age think It's cool yet, I don't understand what is so appealing about it. Maybe it's the concept of being enabled to chat with anyone without the aid of hearing a voice, being near them, or sitting in front of a computer. I could ponder on this for a lifetime and never understand why texting is so popular.

 1) you can carry on multiple, simultaneous conversations; 2) in noisy environments (or without removing headphones); and, most important for some, 3) your parents can't overhear what you're are saying.
 
Texting while driving is astonishingly dangerous, but please do not confuse that limited behavior with the technology and sociology of texting in general.  It's kind of like highlighting the use of guns in Russian roulette to the exclusion of all other situations in which guns are used.
 
side note:  Blurtit places "Answer It" buttons in places where only the title is displayed such that the answerer never sees the additional information.  They should probably correct that to reduce answers such as aross93's.
