Is Texting A Bad Habit?

I was sitting at a Starbucks the other day, and there was this table with around six people. I noticed that none of them were talking to each other, each was busy fiddling with his or her phone. Then a 7th person arrives, and none of the people there even bothered to say hi! I've noticed the same thing happening as well in parties and restaurants. Do you think that texting is getting a little bit out of hand already?

I'm thankful I don't have a cell phone. You can't imagine how many of my friends go, "I'm bored, I'm going to text a random person." It does get quite annoying. So yes, I'd say it's an annoying habit.

wow! you do not own a mobile phone? I rarely meet people nowadays who don't have one. Good for you! Personally, I'd prefer not to own one, however, work requires me to carry one all the time.

I think most people (especially students) tend to develop an addiction to text messaging. SMS really helps people out especially in their daily communication needs. But sometimes (or should I say, MOST of the time), texting becomes a hobby, a really addicting hobby at that. I even see people texting while crossing the street! What are these people thinking?
Texting is is good to some extent, bad to some. =)
