Texting?

As I look back over the years of innovation, we have truly seen some remarkable steps forward. Television, fax machines, overnight deliveries, computers, the internet, CDs, DVDs, digital music, and, of course, the personal communication device known as the cell phone.

There is one developement that defies logic... text messaging! Why are so many people so excited about this form of communication? Tapping out your message with two fingers on a mini keypad is counter progress. Would you be so excited if you were told that we were doing away with all keyboards and computers and going back to typewriters and the US mail? I'm guessing you'd complain about going backwards... kinda like anti-innovation.

Kinda like - text messaging!
