MessageYeh, Carol, I sort of appreciate the instinct to join in all of this.
Just the sheer obsessiveness of texting that throws me. I'm the sort of guy
who looks at things still from the practical standpoint; never been that much
into being 'cool' or doing the business to prove I'm still alive and kicking.
Or am I just sad. I dunno.
Guess the way things are going now you'll never get to talk to a stranger on a
bus or train, so wrapped up are they in texting, or doing the Ipod. You can't
accuse folk of being insuler I suppose if they are talking to someone, but
others might around them just might as well not exist. That's life.

Ray, Hi,
I think the deal is
1) You don't interrupt people in the same way that a phonecall can do -
they look at the message when they want; and
2) We live in a sighted world where texting is "cool" and some people
won't/don't communicate in any other way. They don't even want to pick up
voice messages . . .. Texting for them is so much quicker! Anyway, I like
texting. I can see why some become addicted.
Maybe this is straying a little from the point of "access to computerised
systems etc", for which I apologise, but I suppose we do have to see it from
others' points of view.
