Lol to Texting
Communicating with others is what the majority of people do. Naturally, we all seek to share opinions, thoughts, and ideas. A prime way of doing so is through texting. Sending and receiving messages have become a great way to express yourself without actually “talking” to some one. It has become so popular that for some it has even become a problem. Unfortunately with texting being so convenient, it comes with its negative aspects as well.
People feel the pressure to remain in constant contact even behind the wheel. The dependency on such a thing has become a serious and dangerous dilemma. Cell phones have become a part of people’s lives so much.
