Getting a text message and taking a chance at reading it. Not knowing weather it will be a good text or something you really didn't want to read.

Get the texting roulette mug.Unbeknownst to the others adding definitions, it is much easier to send a text than to call someone (maybe you just do not have any friends?). In the same amount of time it takes for the person to pick their phone up, you could have sent of multiple texts.
Secondly, nobody texts like: OMG WTF IS UP yoooo?Most kids now have smartphones (Blackberry, iPhone, etc.), which have full QWERTY keyboards enabling us to talk in a more literate manner.
Lastly, kids are learning in schools and parents do not really care if our face is stuck to our phones. We may be texting in school, but most, if not all, know how to do this little thing called multitasking. Kids really do not want to fail at school. We learn, get good grades, etc. Those that are failing are not failing because of texting. To succeed in school requires a certain mindset. Texting does not get in the way of that.
Texting is a more convenient way of communicating. A lot of people bash it because they're morons and cannot deal with change. That is all technology is, change...
These same people hated the change to DVD and now the change to Blueray. These same people bash social networking, emailing, navigation, etc. Hello, newsflash! We don't need to write letters and mail them anymore. There aren't people working in rooms connecting calls anymore...it's 2010.
We do not need to waste minutes of our lives speaking to ONE person...
