In today’s electronic age, people tend prefer to text because it is more private than talking. But some people still prefer to talk on the phone. Personally I like texting more, but calling is better to get something urgent across to someone else. The benefits of calling are: it’s faster, a conversation doesn’t last as long, it’s easier to catch sarcasm, or enthusiasm. The benefits of texting are: its private, no awkward hang up or loss of service, you can see the message, and there’s no sound so you can hear each other clearly.
Talking: If you didn’t know, some think that talking on the phone can cause cancer. The radio waves and all the radiation from the phone can mess up your brain. That’s why there are Bluetooths. A Bluetooth is a device that is hands free and is like talking with the cell phone up to your ear, but instead of the radiation going into your brain from the cell phone, the Bluetooth causes less damage.
Texting: As I said before, texting is more private, no awkward hang up or breaking up in service. But texting does have its risks. If you text too much, you can get carpal tunnel. Carpal tunnel is a wrist injury. It’s kind of like a sprain. You wear a brace and it’s painful. It is still safer than talking on the phone though. Texting is easier than talking on the phone, in my opinion. I can understand what the other person is saying because I can see the message, and if I don’t understand I can re-read it and not ask the other person to repeat what they said.
Other people will disagree with me and say they like talking better. Well that’s fine with me, it’s their opinion. I’m a teenager so I prefer texting but most adults prefer talking. Either way both are great ways of communication. Of course there are other ways to communicate, like email, social networks, video chatting, writing letters, etc. What do you prefer? Texting, talking, or other?
