One Call Away

In this day and age of time cell phones are a lot more common than they ever were. Technology is developing very fast and new things are coming out each year. Back in the 2000s people didn’t text nearly as much as they do now. Speaking from my mom’s words she said that back in the 2000s they had a landline phone and that’s how she would communicate with people, she did have a phone but she wouldn’t text people when she was out and about she would wait until she got home to call them on the landline phone. Now a days that is not the case at all. Speaking from my own experience, unless it is an emergency matter or something where I need the other person to answer as fast as they can, I would not call them. For example, if I need to get in touch with my boss at work I will just text him and wait for his response. If I want to talk to one of my friends about something, it’s almost easier in my opinion to just text them and let them respond when they have time to. It’s a way easier way to communicate with people. Back in the earlier times when there were no cell phones at all, people would have a cord home phone and would have to sit by the wall and talk to people and there was only one line so you would have to share. For me growing up in the time I did, it’s easier to do the way I grew up learning. But I can imagine for the people that grew up in the older times all this new technology would be different and weird for them to adapt too.

For me I believe that texting instead of calling is a way easier alternative than calling before texting. As I am emerging into my adult life, I start to see myself using phone calls more than texts because that’s how a lot of the generation of people did it back then so communicating with them I see myself using more calling than texting. I guess for me I don’t mind either way when coming down to it. Like I said, if it’s an emergency situation I would much rather call someone than texting and having to wait for them to respond. I think that as an adult the use of social media should be a little less than as a teenager. I feel using snap chat when your 30 snapping your friends might be a little weird when you can just use text message. I feel as you grow older you should be maturing and think in a more professional manner rather than in an immature teenager way. I agree with going into adulthood you can still use Facebook and Instagram to post about your life but when it comes down to personally connecting with people it should be a phone call or a text message.
