Is texting while you talk trendy?
Posted 08-28-2009 at 08:24 PM by Sandra Bostwick
Last night I went out to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was the trendy kind of place that I have not visited in such a long time. Now, here is the interesting part.
So many people were sending or receiving texts. The messages were often shown to others and became part of the conversation. I saw this happening all over the room. It did seem to add an interesting dimension to the social atmosphere, but it was so unusual.
Is texting while you talk trendy?
The last time I got together with this group, in a different loud, crowded room where several people there were probably ex-students, I also noticed that many people were texting.
This reading phones, showing phones to others, and discussing what was written seems so common now.
I forgot to renew my membership to the trendy bar scene quite a few years back, and it is SO different now. I feel kind-of like I've been given a guest pass as long as I'm accompanied by a regular.
Like the couch potatoe who tries out an aerobics class, I'm obviously not in step with the others. I'm the visitor who'll be happy to use guest passes from time to time, but will probably never sign on for the extended membership.
So, bleaders, can you tell me? Is texting a part of your social life when you are out? Does it only happen in certain venues? When did all this start?

I don't even have my own cell phone!
dh has texting on his prepaid cell, but about the only person he texts is his sil. Many times that's a better option than calling her, you never know how long you might get stuck on the phone with her! 
I too think it's kind of rude ... but since I'm not a part of that scene perhaps I'm not the right person to ask. I guess in some situations it might fit, but I'd rather just talk to somebody. Unless we're online obviously. Is this kind of the same thing?

Janice, I was wondering if these people were not texting each other because it was so noisy. I'll bet, after what you said, that was what alot of people were doing.Posted 08-29-2009 at 05:25 PM by Sandra Bostwick -
I like texting and the luxury it affords me to stay connected to my son, who can text me without "talking" with his mom on the phone. I can always send a text to someone and if they are busy the message will be there when they are free to reply.Posted 08-29-2009 at 07:35 PM by GoofEme - I've heard that the texting keeps parents connected to the kids alot, lately.
