Texting is arguably the most popular way to connect with people in the year 2020. We know that texting is a form of writing, but I would like to dive into and dissect how texting works for us. If you went into your messages right now you would see a list of people you have recently texted. Typically this list is categorized by most recent. We are then able to tap on the conversation we were having with someone, and see exactly who said what and when. Typically the sender and receiver are in different colors so their is no confusion on who said what. We are then able to reply to someone, when replying we are have our own spell check that typically helps us correctly write a word (or it causes you to say something completely off topic...not that that's ever happened to me). We are also able to add emojis, which allows expression to be conveyed. Then we hit the send button and there is our message, just waiting to be replied to. We text every single day, not noticing the ease we are given when texting. There are so many moving parts when we text, but the creators of the software painstakingly made these programs to add ease to the life of the user. I think it's safe to say that when we are presented something every single day it becomes normal, nothing special, but when you take a moment to see how far we have come in technology to be able to have conversation even when we are all alone....is a beautiful thing.
Such a magnificent post! Wow, you really dissected how texting works. I chose to write about emails because, as you said, texting is such a normal practice for me I couldn’t figure out how to elaborate. I agree texting is indeed a beautiful thing.
ReplyDeleteYour post was great and I love how much you went into detail about it. I agree with what you said ass well, everyones messages are basically organized the same way no matter what kind of phone you have unless people want to change it which the typically don't.
ReplyDeleteWonderful Post! Texting has become a part of our everyday life and is so normalized now. Everyone has their own way of organizing their texts.
