I agree with everything zawalrus just said!! I think many of these commenters are younger, and probably don't know what it was like 'before cell phones'. I agree that this article is not balanced. I agree that texting has made many things easier...but I also believe it has destroyed our ability to carry on a conversation. I have a 15-year-old daughter who is at the mercy of her phone for texting, and when I tell her to just CALL someone, she freezes up, as if I am asking the impossible. Sad...I fear she will be saying her 'i do's' via text message...
