Somewhere along the lines, humans got lazy. And like everything else, writing has been getting worse and worse since the 1960s or so. These days we are so robotic and so hurried that we have neglected what used to be an art so we can be more efficient. Texting, is the death of writing, video is the death of radio, autotune is the death of talent, and pencreatic cancer is the death of David Bowie. In fact these days I try to use big words like pancreatic, so I don't get lazy. I try to listen to older music (and trust me it's better). Time is not always progress, and texting is proof of that. We went upwards from cave drawings and hieroglyphics to calligraphy, to cursive and regular handwriting, then down to texting. George Orwell was right with his 1984. "New-speak" is more simplified. We even have a list of banished words, slowly killing expression through speech, how's that for a shrinking vocabulary. In short, texting is humanity trying to go extra fast by killing expression and as many letters as possible.
Texting, would never be used in a sentence, at least not a spoken one. No, people would try to shrink it as much as possible, to txtng perhaps. It's 2 goddamn letters yet people will do anything that will reduce the time to get the point across. The Millennium marked the coming of the end of many things, and actual writing was one of them. This is why we should go to school, because if we spent the first 17 years of our life doing nothing but socializing and playing video games, majority of the population would be illiterate. Then the first immigrant that comes from god knows where takes your potential job away. Get off the internet right now and go read a damn book if you know what's good for you.
