That describes me perfectly. I couldn’t send a text message if my life depended upon it. Seriously.
Its not a coherent message that I have trouble with. But I don’t have the vaguest notion how to get it to the proper recipient.
An email I know how to do. That system of addresses makes sense. I can make a phone call because the format of area code plus number makes sense.
But from what I can tell, text messages are sent by means of some combination of numbers representing what I don’t know.
I can write a text. But how on earth I would actually SEND it to Dutchess (or anybody else) remains a mystery to me. The entire system is a mystery.
Plus, the only reason I could ever think of where a text message would be better than a phone call would be if I were being held in a group of hostages in a bank robbery and dare not speak :)
If I need to communicate with anyone else, I pick up the phone and call.
And its a WHOLE LOT FASTER than typing out a text message. I just don’t get why texting has apparently replaced phone calls.
And especially now that most cell plans charge the same regardless of distance there are no more expensive long distance phone calls as they were in the past.
Why bother typing when speaking is so much easier ?
