Don't get me wrong. . . . Well, get me wrong if you want. I don't care.
But the truth is that I do not repudiate texting itself. I think it's a great technological innovation. Useful, helpful. It's the use it is put to that I dislike.
Because it is silent, or nearly so, people think they can do it any time and any place. I don't agree.
I have seen people texting in church. Rude, irreverent, thoughtless, to say the least.
I have seen people texting on the job, one-handed with that one hand in pocket and only an occasional lifting of the phone and carefully timed glance, so that "no one will know." As if. The best that can be said is "skilled use of a hand." The worst, I guess, fire the guy.
