Confessions of a Text-A-Holic Part I

I went to see a movie with an old friend this weekend. I hadn’t gone out with her in two years! I noticed that she kept checking her phone every five minutes and it bothered me because we could have been catching up during that time.

Technology is taking over our lives. I text instead of call, and I call instead of walking over to my neighbor’s house. I’m guilty of texting during class, while I’m on my break at work, and even while I drive!

I depend on my phone, but I’m not the only one. People are always texting when they’re talking to me. I even text while I’m already on the phone with someone else.

To be honest, I’m not completely sure I know how to talk to people anymore. I don’t know how to contribute to a conversation for very long because I’m so dependent on my cell phone and laptop.

I wish all of us could give the phones a break and talk to each other the real way.
