Not all young people are okay with it. "Texting at the dinner table" still requires a degree of social tact.


A good rule of thumb for me is that texting is acceptable for coordinating the next move in the evening, but texting people completely unrelated to the current company is not.


I think I might be one of the few young people that is not okay with text messages at all.

If you need something from me, you can either call me, or send me an email...

Chances are, if you're compressing it into 140 characters, that it isn't that important.

If it IS that important, why the HELL are you sending it to me over some stateless, hacked together part of the cell spec that was intended to be used for sending out signal strength info instead of...I don't know...CALLING me?
