Text messaging

So I've been wanting to write about an experiment I tried earlier on in the semester. After class one day I remember we had a discussion on text messaging and how much it affects our communication in our everyday lives. My experiment was that I would try to go a week without using text to respond or contact anyone. The first day into it I remember receiving what seemed to me more texts than usual. I tried to call back each one of the individuals that had contacted me, but when trying to do so the outcome was less than 50% sucessful. So right there I was missing out on half of my contacts for the day. I later learned that about half of that 50% that didn't answer were in class and were not able to talk on their phones. The other half just weren't next to there phones. I tried to continue the experiment but by the next day I had already forgot not to respond to text messages. The results to my experiment are: First I realized that most text messages are just friendly conversation and aren't that important. Second I didn't notices myself gaining anytime from not responding, I might have been a little safer while driving but I'm a safe driver as it is. Lastly I can say that I'm addicted to text messaging and that it is a big part of my communication with everyone I konw.
