I think Texting is a dangerous way of communication. First, it takes away the importance of interpersonal communication. Second, it leads us to believe everything is urgent. Third, it’s leads us to think we are indispensable. Here are some tips for Proper Texting Techniques:
1. Each text does not have to be answered immediately. If you are employed, it might be wise to only text business related things during working hours. Employers are evaluating the amount of time employees are texting.
2. Turn off the text during productive times in the day.
3. Do not text while driving, in a meeting, at a funeral, in church or during job interviews. Oh, you laugh! These take place daily.
4. If you have a constant texter – tell them their thumbs will be broken if they do not stop now!
Just as with email, it's near impossible to read someones tone in a text message. Hence, the use of the smiley face. :)
