    The pros of texting and walking is that if you need to contact someone at the moment then you'll have to. Texting and walking on the crosswalk isn't a good idea. I think its cool to communicate through text message, because what if you get a text during class, then you can check it. If you get a call during class, you wont be able to answer it.

    Pros are positive aspects of an idea, process, or thing. Cons are the primary negative aspects.

      The pros of texting is that you could be doing other things while texting. I think it a bad idea to text while crossing the street the chances are you getting hit by a car. Texting is a good way to communicate with each other. People just prefer texting than calling. It also costs alot texting and it takes longer.

    The sentence means that we don't communicate with others. So the pro's of texting is that you can talk to people in a way better way than talking. And what I mean by that is that someone could be in a bad mood and not want to talk face to face to someone. The con's of texting is that you have to type so many words even though you can just call them.
    I don't get the meaning of texting though because people just prefer it.
    I also think that they choose texting because some of the cellphone plans allow free texting. So that is what I think of texting pro's and Con's.

    One good thing about communicating threw text is it could be convenient. It is also fast as well to get the message sent. A bad thing would be that people may get into the habit of always texting constantly. People may not talk in person as often. It could also be costly with the so much texting.

      One of the pros is that you can text quickly. You don't have a long drawn out conversation. Another pro is that you can still do work when you text. A con to texting is that, unless you have a smart phone with talk to text compatibility you cant text and drive.

      The pros are that you can talk to far away people.
      The cons are that if you text and drive you could die, and if you are walking and texting you could run into someone.

      I think the pros of texting and walking is more better than communicating,Because if you are communicating to someone when you are walking, you maybe going to have a accident with a car,That's why i like pros texting,no communicating.

    The pros of texting are that, you can text while doing other work. You can also deliver some news and it wont seem as bad, as if you would say it in person. Cons of texting can result in thumb numbness. Also, when you text and lets say your crossing the road, and sending a text, you have the possibility of getting hit by a car.

    There are many pros and cons for texting. Texting can be a pro in many ways, for example if your in a meeting and someone needs to get a hold of you they can text you,instead of calling, and so on. Texting can also be a con, it causes more crashes then calling does, and it can take longer to contact someone.

    Some good things about texting is it is a good way to communicate without disturbing someone, such as when talking to someone on the phone it could be you talking that is bothering the person next to you. If you text someone, then you could silently communicate with that person without disturbing someone next to you. The downfall of texting is someone might not get back to your message right away.

    Texting is an easy way to communicate. If you are busy, you can easily text someone instead of calling. Texting is addicting though. People avoid communication. Texting is going to become expensive.
