    I'll start with the cons (their easier to think of) one is you could be distracted by texting while driving and hit some one. Or you have those stupid lazy abbreviation like lol or ctf. I can think of one pro, you can talk to people with out many sounds.

    Texting has some really good pros and cons. The first pro is you can talk faster. Some cons are lots of people die because of texting while driving. They also look dum while texting in my opinion.So you can see there are good things and bad things to texting.

    I don't think texting is that bad. Instead of calling or meeting up in person.You can waist minutes on your phone if you call. You can email but that is harder. And you have to get on the Internet

    Americans today, the age of 18- 29 get over 88 text messageges per day. Compared to 17 phone calls. Turkle believes that having a conversation with another person teaches kids too. In effect, have a conversation with themselves. To think and reason and self effect

    I think that texting was made to communicate with people that are far away. The problem with texting is that some people are killed in car accidents from texting. Texting can be bad because people get distracted. Texting gets to addicting for people. This is what I think about texting.

    In my opinion, I think that texting isn't A bad idea.Mostly because instead of talking on the phone or in person you could just text each other.You can also waist minutes on your phone if you call.If you have unlimited data you don't waist your minutes as bad.Also because it exercises your fingers.That is why I think texting is better then calling.

    Texting has really good pros and cons.The first one is that if you text and drive that you aren't paying attention to the road and the people around you,you could die because of that.You can call them and not text.Those are some reasons that you should not text and drive.

    Texting is where you send a message with out talking.Its much more faster then calling someone.But its also bad in many ways. Like when you text and drive.You could actully die from it.While driving it takes your eyes off the road and cause so much trouble.

    In my opinion I think that texting wasn't a bad idea but every thing has to have it's limits. Texting Has been a great way to share opinions and talk silently but lately I've been seeing some problems. I know about 5-6 people who I haven't heard there voice in a couple of weeks because they text so much. Also, about six thousand people a year die each year from texting and driving. I don't think that texting and doing anything is wise.

    There are many pros and cons of texting.A pro is you can say what you want to say faster.A con is you could get in a crash because you were looking at your phone.Another pro is you can understand what the person wanted to say easier.Another con is sometimes it takes a few minutes to send a message so texting not great if you have something very important to say.

    Texting and calling can be good and bad. They can be good because you can communicate with people across the world. But it bad because they can both cause car crashes and sometimes death from car crashes. I suggest you turn your phone off while you drive. I guess some people can't go a few minutes or hours while driving to text or call someone back.
