The reality is no two people are identical. Both act and react differently. Embracing those differences is what makes each of us unique, as well as our relationships with another. Communication is vital, so is the way in which we do it. Whether verbal or nonverbal, we must keep those lines open. Digital Technology makes communicating faster and more convenient. It should not replace the way we interact Face to Face. We have a voice, speak up. Conversation is not outdated, it connects us, helps to builds thriving relationships. Communicating left to text messaging alone, breaks down social conversations.

Great post Yonnie! Texting can be useful but one of the bad things about Texting is that you don’t know the tone of someone’s voice and can’t see their body language. This has caused issues in relationships because people can easily form wrong opinions that could have been avoided through face to face communication or at least a phone call.

Indeed, Dawn. When you you have something to discuss, a story to tell or lot to say, words texted can take different tone and let’s not mention typos. The lessons we learn from experience.

You’re right, talking is important. Texting is easy for young people to communicate with- as long as the stay in touch I don’t mind texting.😂

Yes, indeed Laleh. I don’t mind texting either. Especially when needing to deliver a short, quick message. Thinking of you messages are nice to send and receive. 😊🌸
Young people love texting, many stay in touch.

Good post… Some things a text messaging is good for, like getting a quick yes or no answer from someone. However, to your point, it’s important to pick up the phone as well sometime and talk, since text messages can get generic if that is all the communication you and another individual is doing. Furthermore, talking on the phone can help to cut down on confusion that might happen from a text being misinterpreted by the receiver of it.
