Things are just so different from when I was growing up, and that's not that long ago.<br /><br /> I finally gave in to texting about two years ago, but even then didn't really text more than once or twice a month until our big move across the country. Very interesting quote about the motivations for communicating. I find that I have different motives for texting different people (like not wanting a three hour conversation with someone who never stops talking, etc.). Things have just changed so very quickly.<br /><br /> It doesn't help my perception of the speed of that change that our family lived with my grandparents for years, and they had a rotary phone until the phone company made them use something else, and they had a party line until no one else in the region was left on the party line. I still have nightmares about trying to dial someone on the rotary phone in an emergency and having to start over and over.Alycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919057159829023714noreply@blogger.com
