A someone walks into 7-11. The nice individual behind the counter says, " Hi, will that be all?" the someone shifts his head up and down and says,"No!? This is texting in a sense; free from emotion and gesture in the global communicative processes of today's technologies.
Notice the non-linearities: minstrels, mail, telegraph, telephone, cellular technologies and texting. Now people can connect world-wide in all possible ways possible. Our reliance on communication technologies like texting, for example, allows us to establish and maintain long and short distance relationships. One of the things texting lacks is a real sense of true human communication to include gestures, movements, tone of voice, and a multitude of other ways in which to better determine exactly the message that is being conveyed. We are more than capital letters expressed through fingers and towers traceable.
To this day, if a face to face meeting revolving around communication and interaction and the exchange of ideas is not possible, a well crafted e-mail through the real mail layed down on good paper will most assuredly have all emotional and relevant information conveyed in a way that is easily understood and always appreciated. Even misspelled words can show a lot about someone. LLc 98.2
