TELEPHONE

Alexander Bell labored long and hard to invent a contraption to convey voices over great distances. Note the key word voices. So why do we abuse his invention by using it as a teletype machine and send text messages.

Isn't it easier to call and simply converse and get an an immediate response, instead of waiting for another text message reply?

If I want to read something, I will pick up a book or newspaper and not my phone; and when I do, I will be talking, and using it as it was intended.

It's nice when you don't need to talk to someone, you just want to convey a piece of information.

That's why God created pen and paper and the Pony Express.

It's all these texters that are causing the postal rates to gosky high.
