As more and more people use cell phones texting and calling become more common. Some people might prefer texting compared to others would rather call because of convenience. There are many reason people text or call people to communicate. Even I prefer one over the other at times. With advantages comes disadvantages there are many for both calling and texting.
Texting is a great way to communicate people easily and fast but also has it’s disadvantages. Texting is a great way to communicate over calling by you can send a message and people can respond when its most convenient for them. It’s also a great way because you can look for old text to find information you may have sent in the past. I love to use text when I have to talk to multiple people. Like my cheer team has one so we can all get the information we need and the coach only has to send one text. Texting has a lot of advantages over calling. Some disadvantages would be like not respond for hours or get your text. This is demonstrated by how some poeple don’t look at there phone throughout the day so don’t see texts.
When your in a rush or in the car calling is a great way to get information fast but also has it’s disadvantages. Calling is a great way to communicate when something is urgent. Calling is a good way if your in the car driving and someone needs something they can call you and you can still be handsfree driving. Calling is another great way to be able to hear the tones of people. So you can tell what they are meaning compared to a texting and trying to figure out what tone. I like to use call when it’s a lot of imformation to put in a text so its just faster to call and tell someone. Some things like they may not pickup right away or sometimes it’s hard to hear over the phone.
In summary Calling and texting are both great ways to communicate and both have great advantages. Some people might prefer calling over texting or vice versa. I think as I grow up calling and texting are used a lot. I use texting a lot in group setting but also so I can find things that have been texted when I forget a important date. As stated above texting and calling are used a lot these days there are many goods and bad things about calling and texting.
