The level of texting in the US has increased exponentially in recent years, so much so that most 20 somethings don't know or remember a time when connecting with one another was not primarily accomplished through their phone's text app. One would imagine that this sort of fast, immediate yet non-committal form of communication would enhance our interpersonal relationships, but I believe that would be a contradiction of terms. I submit that when people rely too heavily on these quickly conceived witty short text phrases combined with complimentary emojis that while they may be flirtatious they are no substitute for actually spending one on one time with the object of your desires.
In the near future I will once again be taking on the topic of relationships, just like this one in which I addressed the monumentally important challenges confronting those who wish to enjoy a happy relationship in our digital age of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, SnapChat and Texting.
