Another thing that's "alluring" about text messaging is that it allows people to communicate in places where it's not typical acceptable, or very difficult, to talk or hear.

Examples of the former are classrooms(!), libraries, hospitals (though some have restrictions with regards to having phones on in them), and church!

Examples of the latter include bars and rock concerts, where it's often impossible to hear, so text messaging is a perfect solution.

Hi all

Personally, I'm very curious about the whole text messaging phenomenon.
I mean, how is it remotely possible that text messaging is simpler to
accomplish than simply dialing up the other person and speaking? E-Mail,
I somewhat understand, as it seems fairly simple to type on a full
keyboard. But on the surface, it seems that text messaging is quite a
bit more difficult, as you are mostly limited to the tiny phone keypad.

Is there anyone among us that can explain the allure? What am I missing?

Cheers... Rick :)
