Critical Thinking Piece

Introduction:
While texting can be an easy and quick way to keep in touch and communicate with friends and family, it has created an atmosphere of laziness and a lack of personal interaction.  People are no longer spending time on the phone or in person, discussing one another’s lives and sharing intimate moments.  Instead, people are sending quick and impersonal messages to keep in touch. The tradition that we once knew of cherished phone calls and friendly letters has faded away within our society as a result of text messaging.

Conclusion:
After looking at both sides of this argument, ultimately, most would agree that text messaging has proved to become harmful towards our tradition of personal communication with one another.  The advancement of technology in recent years has played a dominant role in our society. This has resulted in a loss of the art of writing and speaking, and ultimately has an effect on our interactions with one another. Due to the hectic lives of many individuals, texting is a reasonable solution yet the overuse of this modern advancement continues to diminish our communication skills and relationships. Texting has become the most common means of communication and previous valued traditions such as writing letters and talking on the phone have become abandoned. Our generation has taken leave of these once cherished customs and has left behind the art of meaningful communication.
