Unless they are glue to a computer all day, not everyone has email access on their cell phones; but they have their cell phones with them at all time. A quick text message always gets the point across without being intrusive and it saves time from needless small talks. In today’s world, information is power; texting is just another way to disseminate and receive information via technology. I think people who turn their nose on texting are doing themselves a dis-service. I text everyday, it is the quickest way to get to my staff, colleague and my kid.

Are they confusing text messages and email via cell phone? These are technically two different technologies. Blackberry's, etc. have caught on, but I do not know anyone other than teeny-boppers who are actually texting. I have been an avid user of my Blackberry for a couple of years now, but I simply do not text - nor do any of my collegues. In fact, when asked, most of them do not even know how and all are under 40. I do not believe these statistics. Are they confusing text messages and email via cell phone?
