Did u ever have to tell someone something and didn't know how? Did you ever think it would be easier if you could just text it? But then thought about it being rude if it was through via text message. It's February 9th of the year 2013 and these are the small dilemmas that sadly many people face. I know many of you have thought about it and much rather have a conversation with someone through text than in person. Many reasons could be that you find it easier, it's more convenient, and it also takes away the nervousness or anxiety someone may be have depending on the conversation. Society has changed within the last couple of years in such a rapid pace. Changes have been made in the way people communicate with each other to the point where many of the young generation do not know how to be social. In my opinion, I do not agree with this new change because it takes away from people really enjoying each others presence in many different occasions and events. Life goes by so quickly and with the new technology that everyone is being preoccupied with, it is passing through even quicker than we think. Did you ever just think about how society socializes? Think about it.
