I'm going to have to start using GOML.

you people that have never heard of texting apparently never had a teenager. My daughter discovered texting and soon thereafter she ran up a $50 bill in a day. My wife figured it out, told her she had to stop until we got unlimited texting, and my daughter ran up another $50 bill that day. Apparently it's addicting. There was a case in the last year where a governor ran up a $500 bill in a day texting his mistress.

The good news is my kids spell words correctly and don't use abbreviations I have to look up on urban dictionary. I find texting useful because my wife doesn't answer her phone. The bad news is that texting is the only activity where I notice I have arthritic thumbs.

In the near future it will be common to text via speech recognition. This will be a big advance, because you will be able to communicate with others by talking into your phone. I look forward to the day when you will be able to listen to their response in real time.
