Text Messaging
I think I've written a previous blog on the many pitfalls of text messaging, but I could be mistaken. Either way, this subject requires our immediate attention. The problem with text messaging is, there is no communication. Several studies have shown that 90% of human communication is NOT done verbally. So you're basically taking out all but 10% of normal communication. As you can formulate, this can provide for some strange misunderstandings.
For purposes of making fun of Jake, we'll also throw instant or "msn" messaging into this equation, as it's basically the same idea. I once heard a story about a young man who asked a girl to prom over msn messenger. The young man's name was Jake Glenn, and it happened for this very prom at Mountain View High School. Don't ask me what was going through his head, but apparently it was not much.
I once tried to carry out a text-messaging only relationship. It didn't work out too well. So in summary, text messaging sucks unless it's to Hank.
