When it comes to reaching other people, most of us prefer to text or IM instead of talking to a person on the phone or even in person. Using sms as a primary form of communication, many of us barely use the minutes on our cellphones, but need to have unlimited text messaging plans to keep up with our texting needs. We even have a special shorthand language that we use in text. It is the current way that people communicate, the way people prefer to communicate, and a whole new language of communication. Just 10 years ago people would check their emails once or twice a day but, now we have access to our emails on our phones. We may check our email 20, 30, or even 50 times a day. So if use sms as your primary form of communication, you understand that the new language of text is the voice of the next generation.
