shootingstar Posted June 26, 2022 Share #1 Posted June 26, 2022 I actually dislike poking around on tiny keys to text message people on iphone. Too slow, too prone to errors. Whereas this good friend tells me she won't read any emails. Honest, I find it very inefficient to do a text message. But of course, not worth a phone call for certain messages. I don't care. Spending alot of time hunched over an iphone do a much text messaging, is not really me. ...because communication to me is more than just 5 words. I send out an email every few wks. on stuff. ...from home desktop. Another friend is like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrAzY Posted June 26, 2022 Share #4 Posted June 26, 2022 I like text messaging because when I tell someone something it is now in writing. If I talk to someone over the phone, they will just screw it up and I am fixing it later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted June 26, 2022 Share #5 Posted June 26, 2022 Like anything else it just takes some getting used to. But I don’t convey long messages over text like you might on an email or call. Both have their place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah 100% of my posts here are on my phone as i don’t post on work computers and I find it easier to tap away on a phone than my tablet (I no longer have a personal PC/laptop). To each their own but I struggled with typing on an IPhone at first but it’s natural for me now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie ★ Posted June 26, 2022 Share #11 Posted June 26, 2022 It is still early for you shooter. You will be assimilated very soon now, You can't beat the convenience of texting on a phone. Much less intrusive than phone calls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further Posted June 26, 2022 Share #13 Posted June 26, 2022 The supervisors at work are all so busy that they don’t take phone calls, they text while taking with someone in person That way they can fuck up two things simultaneously 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Beanz Posted June 26, 2022 Share #16 Posted June 26, 2022 You need to step out from the dark ages!😏 Start texting more, take a few sexy pics and on your cell send them to the a few male friends. You'll get used to texting real quick. 😆😄😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groupw Posted June 26, 2022 Share #18 Posted June 26, 2022 Texting is cake. Give it time and it will get easier. I’ll text or DM unless a real time conversation makes more sense I like using this site from my phone because most photos I share are already on my phone. Otto Correct is sometimes a hindrance. Overall I use my phone more than my PC unless I’m editing photos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingstar Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share #21 Posted June 26, 2022 I'm supposed to get motivated by all this. Ok. Well, I'll sleep for awhile. As you can tell, Twitter never turned me on.

Kirby Posted June 27, 2022 Share #22 Posted June 27, 2022 I have my work email but not my personal email on my phone, so I like texting as a quick way to touch base with family and friends - quick things like hen we're meeting, or I'll send them a pic they can look at whenever they have time If I have a longer message, I'll typically use email. I see them enough in person that I only tend to call for special things - like a birthday, or if we have to talk through some specific task (I remotely helped a friend set up her new tablet)/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care to promote mine as it's just a diary for me to look back on time to time. I am surprised to see the various countries that have viewed my blog. Interesting to think people in Croatia Russia, and other countries know who Mr. Beanz is, ha ha ha. Interesting but when it comes down to it, I don't really care. Like I said, just my diary.

Beanz my career is heavily on information systems.. structuring information for organizations to that people can find it / teaching them how to create/find information. I am the super/uber user and trainer. So social media, iphone..it's just well more digital for me. More tools. My fun is cycling, and if I wasn't so lazy, it is creating stuff....which my blog writing is quite different from yours. And one day, get back into making art.

Whether I'm recording a grocery list or sending a text, I use it instead of typing. There are some words that sometimes are a problem - "quart" the other day - and I have to type it on those tiny keys, but that doesn't happen often. My biggest problem with text messages is when someones sends by text an invitation, a picture, etc. to 10-20 people at a time and I'm one of them, my bluetooth connection to my landline phone announces every text message and, for the next 10 minutes after the original invitation, etc. reached my phone, I hear over and over "Text message from ... XXX" Where XXX is either a name or a phone number I don't recognize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
