Is it just me, or is texting the stupidest sh-t? I can call someone and tell the joke and hang up before you can type it. Does anyone over 25 use it?

Use mine all the time.&nbsp\\; I also get my emails delivered on my phone as well.&nbsp\\; I don't really like to talk on the phone.&nbsp\\; Would rather write.&nbsp\\; Just a quirk of mine I guess.

I use text a lot, also get my corporate and personal email downloaded to my phone automatically. Keeps me from missing info and allows me to communicate when I'm stuck in a meeting.&nbsp\\;

I'm 47 and I text all the time.&nbsp\\; Quick, simple, no waiting to see if someone answers, no voicemail.&nbsp\\; For simple messages, it's the best way to communicate.

I guess I'm just old. I'm 42 and have no need for it.

Some kids can text without even looking at their phone. Crazy how much they use it. Im still trying not to learn it.

No texting for me.&nbsp\\; phone, voice mail, email. I would like to throw all of them away sometime.&nbsp\\; Oh I am 51 as of today.
