I guess I'm showing my age, but I really dislike texting!  My 'kids' (both in their 40's) seem to actively dislike using a telephone.  They only want to 'text'.

 Now, I'm a pretty good "typist", except when it comes to those tiny buttons on my cell phone! Yes, it's fine for short messages: Ok, call me, etc. But when you are trying to explain something, it's a royal pain!

 Today I sent a text to my son, telling him that a piece of mail he'd expected to come here, hadn't come. My husband had talked to the mail lady & got some good information from her; I tried to convey that to him in a text & got the response of: "?"

So I was in the midst of trying to explain, via text, when he sent me another text; apparently, that caused my message to disappear. So I decided to just phone him.   We were in the middle of a conversation when we lost touch. I waited, thinking he'd phone me back--he didn't.

Finally, I got a text from him: "I lost you". Well, tell me something I don't know!  I decided that if he really wanted to finish the conversation he would phone me back--he didn't.  So that's that; I'm not going to try texting again.

What is it with this generation?? Personally, I would rather "speak" to the person. But apparently, all they want to do is Text. Sigh.
