You remember back in those days we would actually get on the
phone to call our girlfriend, boyfriend, or even crush? Back when we had to
wait a certain time to call, ask permission, and even spent long long hours on
the phone? Yep, those were the good old days before Texting, Facebook, Twitter,
and Snapchat came into play. The old ways of communication when we had AOL,
MSN, Yahoo, or regular Instant messaging. See in the early days of texting and
calling, things seemed very simple. We were respectful, carried on long
conversations, and even signed cute messages to responses. But then again, as
we move forward in this generation, we come to a point in which society and
technology can play a negative affect on relationships. Here I’m going to list
a few dangers of texting.
Sexting: Trust me, many people have done it, and though many
get caught up in the act of sending pictures to another person, we can’t always
trust that person. You never know who could end up exposing what you sent and
have it posted on social media for everyone to see. Does that person who
exposed you care? Absolutely not.
Risky Messages: You ever texted someone but didn’t know that
there was another person pretending to be someone they’re not? In other words,
when you text other people, sometimes you will never know who exactly is on the
other line with holding or reading that person’s phone. So here’s what you do,
if you have something very important to say… Call them up. You never know what
a person is feeling on the other line unless you physically hear their voice.
Words can say one thing, but reactions can mean a whole lot more.
Story time: You could be texting someone, but on the other
line, the stuff you text is being shared out loud to a group of friends. Don’t
take the risk of texting something you don’t want to get exposed about. That
other person on the other line could be passing that phone around.
Everyone knows that a phone is like a computer. Your phone
contains information that is necessarily classified for your benefit.
Absolutely nobody should be going through your phone to find something, but
everyone knows nobody obeys that rule…So when other people find things on your
phone that they don’t want to see, you better do right with your phone, and
secure things that are for your private matter. There’s a reason why I don’t
text as much as I used to unless it’s business oriented, emergency oriented, or
it’s someone who I actually trust whole heartedly. There’s millions of ways in
which a small simple device can play a huge affect. Be smart about texting, be
smart about sharing information, and also be smart about….Oh I almost forgot.
SOCIAL MEDIA: Everyone has a smart phone. With that said,
everything that you do on your phone is tracked just with the accident of a
touch. For example, you’re scrolling down Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook and
you accidentally “Like, Favorite, Retweet, or Shared” something that perhaps was
like very old…. People will find that because they will get a simple icon
message telling them what you did. Yep, they caught you slipping and creeping "laughing out loud". Auto correct is another thing....One small mess up in a message can change the entire mood of a text message. This includes grammar, and words. Well I think that’s it for now. But the moral of the story is this,
practice safe text. If you have to say something real important, call or leave
a message. Don’t be brainwashed with texting, so at least let’s go back into
the good old days of speaking voice to voice.
I can tell you this, it's cute that you can text someone a good morning message to brighten up their day, or if you're thinking about someone during the night but don't want to wake them up, you can always shoot them a text message saying "Babe, I know you're sleep but...." See where it goes from there. Become more direct with your lover by talking and calling. Be sweet when you're texting something cute and less direct.
Happy Calling
