Call or Text

There are very many different ways to message and communicate with your friends and peers. People will always find a way to talk to one another.  There is a pretty big debate on whether calling or texting is better. Personally I think that both are great and both should be used at different times. Like shooting a text to a friend to see what their plans are or I would call my employer to let them know I couldn’t come in for a shift. Personally I feel as if there is a time and a place for everything and there is a time and a place for texting and calling like if there is an emergency you call 911 you don’t text them and wait an hour for them to respond.

Texting is a great tool to use when there’s less urgency or you have time to wait, I feel like society expects so much from people and responding to text messages. Normally when I get a text message I take a while to respond which makes people get  mad or they think that I am ignoring them but I think that if it was something that urgent they would just call me.

Calling is also an amazing thing but I feel as if it is more of a professional tool and I mainly only use it if I need to tell someone something urgent or important otherwise I prefer texting. It is a much faster way to communicate and you do not have to worry about interrupting someone’s day. So when they are used in the right way both are amazing.
