Texting / Smsing

Is it just me or is smsing ruining the communication process? It actually keeps a person's true personality and spontaneity in a conversation from showing up. When you can edit and decide how and what you wanna say something before you say it, it makes you seem like a much better communicator than you may actually be.

People can be one room away and sms one another instead of just walking to the person's door and asking them the question they wanna ask. People rarely talk on the phone anymore, they would rather sms. Smsing has ruined phone calls for me, I don't really like talking on the phone now, does that make me anti-social? DEFINITELY NOT.

By the way, have you ever had someone get mad at you because of the way THEY interpreted something you said in a sms? When you're talking to someone, you can hear certain voice inflections, sarcasm, and joking nature, but when you sms, it's only words on a screen. Ever have an argument over a sms that you sent that was misinterpreted by the person you sent it to? There's nothing worse than trying to explain what you meant in a sms with another sms. That's just irritating. I think smsing has made people too emotional, words don't have meaning outside of the meaning that a person places onto those words. Hence if you get upset about a sms, maybe that says something about your interpretation.
