Cell phones are great for communicating with the world. In this day and age, most people prefer texting to talking on the phone. Some people get nervous when talking on the phone, no matter whom it is with. People can take the time to think about their response before saying it. If a person is busy, then they can reply at their leisure. They can talk to this person all day long through texting versus a phone call, which can be short. There are a few cons to texting. Texting discourages verbal communication. Over texts, people have a hard time telling the tone of voice and whether or not if something is a joke. Personally I prefer texting to talking on the phone, but I have to be careful who I am around when I text so I don’t completely ignore someone and come across as rude.
