What ever happened to a good old fashion phone convo?

Remember back in the day, when you called someone from a LAND line? Imagine how that would be today... it sounds so "middle school" but that's what everyone was doing at the time. The dating world now feels consumed with emails and text messages. Texting has come the new form of communication people use to talk to each other... in any type of relationship. Insights and articles about dating have conformed from a "When to call him" to how to go about texting him. (See:http://www.cosmopolitan.com/sex-love/relationship-advice/relationships-and-texting?click so although we have all these excess means of communication, we have to further decode what one really means. You can't hear a tone of voice or see facial expressions with a text message, but it seems to be the easiest form of communication people are using these days.
Living away from home across the county, has been a more difficult time to communicate and stay in touch with family and friends in Florida. Texting has saved this. Working a full time job and everything else I do has made it hard to find time to phone family and friends... shooting a text makes it that much easier and we are able to communiate on a regular basis.
I couldn't imagine writing letters to home and never being up to date on all my Florida friends life happenings.

Communication is indeed more regular, but something is lost by the art of the text message. Conversations are kept short and sweet through texts. No one goes into excess detail, it is very blunt. Making phone conversations is a more effective way of communication, and relationships should not be ruled strictly by the text message.

There is also a communiation feature that sounds pretty pathetic but I think a majority of us are guilty of using it for communication. I feel that it is on the level of text message... but better! Cause you can say more of what you want to say.. and that is the glorious FACEBOOK chat. It's no secret that facebook is one of the most popular means of communication these days. Faebook chat is an awesome feature that allows you to go into greater depth than a text message would... and it gives the conversation more formality. Not as much as a phone call of course, but it works.
