Texting opinion

Personally, I think that that texting has its pros and cons. Some people might take the advantage of texting too far and make it hated by others. Many people from the older generations, do not like the idea of texting becuase it is "not needed." However, teens from this day in age, including myself, like the idea of texting. The use of texting can be helpful at times which is good for a teenager with so many things to do.Many of the cons towards texting are minor and do not really make some people just hate texting in general. On the other hand, some people are so anti-texting that they completely hate it.
Some of the pros that i think are nessacary are the following. I think that some people need to know about some of the pros so that maybe they will change their mind and stop nagging. For example, if you want to have a side conversation with someone through a text while you are having another one in person, then i think that it would be fine because some people can pay attention to both. Also, I think that having the privillage to text is important becuause then they can have a conversation with someone at a time when it is supossed to be quiet. Some people may just need to tell someone quickly about something during work when they cannot just sit on the phone and talk on the phone. Other might not want to talk on the phone and rather text because some people talk on the phone too long and they might not want to be rude and just tell them to be quiet. Also, this could be a way of saving someone of being in an awkward situation with someone. Lastly, maybe someone doesnt want to have a full conversation and just wants to remind them of something. Overall, texting has a good amount of pros as well as cons.
Some of the cons that people talk about may also be true too. I mean, people that text alot can be annoying at times. For example, if you are trying to have a conversation with someone and all they are doing is staring at their phone, then it would seem to be annoying after a while. People might just want to listen to the persons emotions and reactions which you cannot get in a text. The idea of hearing someones actual voice may be more personal then just a text. Also, i feel that some people might be too distracted when something important needs to be said or done. In the end, texting has its good and bad sides.
