Texting, the root of all evil.

Times have changed world. For the longest time we have found that the root of all evil is money.
Well I am here to tell you that things have changed quite a bit since philosophers came across this massive discovery. While it is true that money still has its roots to evil, it is decided that there is something more evil. Something that puts money way behind on the evil meter.
Some may think its deliciously fattening jelly filled bakery items... nope. Others view monsters as terrible evil things that scare us. You know the ones, they hide in your closet and under your bed. well, if you've ever seen the movie monsters you would know that they too, aren't evil at all.


World the answer is texting.

Texting became the cool thing to do when you were in high school. Seems like everyone in school had a phone, and you could always talk to friends while you were in school... no matter where they were! It was amazing. Well texting became more and more popular. Before you know it, people do not even talk to each other. No one makes phone calls, and surely no one will talk face to face. In fact, standing right next to someone and texting them is not unheard of. Texting has become so much of a habit for people that for some (myself included), the phone is basically attached to their hand at all times. Words are never taken the way they need to be taken way they are meant to be when read off a screen, which ultimately gets us all into trouble... the list goes on and on.
world, this needs to stop.

The world has adapted into a method of talking out all personal issues with a text. After all its easier, you don't have to set up a time to meet someone and you can do it anywhere any time. If all you do is converse with others through texts, if you get caught with words in your mouth you have more time to get yourself out of the whole with responses to others. Relationships begin, thrive, and end all through text messages.



While these are all "pro's" of texting the cons outnumber by a whole lot more.


It didn't take long before students were cheating in schools through text messages, pornography is being distributed at an alarming rate, and too many drivers are dying on the road because someone has to send/read a text message. It scares me so much when I see others inside my car or others that are texting as they drive.



Bottom Line is texting is out of control. Those who started this trend never saw this coming. But the world needs to solve this problem asap.  I"m going to work on it myself. Texting does not need to be the center of the universe. Help me out world, don't let me get carried away.
