We’ve become so used to technology, some of us have
forgotten how to communicate with others face-to-face. Instead of driving to
see someone or picking up the phone to talk, we send text messages and emails
with emoticons and “LOL,” hoping that the receiver knows what we truly mean. Too
many times our words get mixed up, feelings are hurt and apologies have to be
made; all because we allowed technology to convey our feelings, rather than us
doing it ourselves.
While texting has become helpful, allowing us to send
important messages, such as “put the chicken to defrost,” while sitting in a
meeting, it has also caused arguments to ensue because LOLs don’t always mean a
joke. If your message confuses you the writer, imagine what may happen to the
receiver. Think twice before you send that next text message. It may save you
some apologies and misunderstandings and embarrassing situations. Don’t believe
me? Look at Anthony Weiner!
