Texting in Social Situations

My thoughts on  texting are that it is a very useful tool that allows many people to stay connected and communicate at any time and place. It has never been easier to send a quick message to a friend or give your parents a quick heads up on where you're going. Like most things there is always a pro and con to the use of anything. From a social stand point texting is a  very convenient way to access contact with other people, but can also be taken too far to the point that is the primary source of communication. Specifically in social situation it is not bad.

It's rude to Text while someones' talking
Taken from Google
I only find it rude when someones' texting if they do it for the whole conversation and barely acknowledges me. Other than that it doesn't bother me and is completely fine. I also think that it would dependent on who your talking to for texting to be rude if your the one texting.

5 RULES OF TEXTING:
  • avoid texting while in conversation with a person
  • don't text instead of actually talking to a person if the person is in the same room
  • don't text in class
  • never have your phone out if your talking to an important person (boss, teacher, police)
  • don't text constantly
