Pot Luck #56: TXT U L8R - Texting

I have not sent a text message because it costs on my cell phone. But I have received text messages on my cell phone which also costs.

In an emergency or non-emergency, I can send a text message. On my cell phone there is a menu selection, then type in the message using various emoticons and click SEND. The use of the keys is the same for adding PHONE numbers in the directory.

I wish I could fast forward a little bit into the future. I wonder what my grandsons “lingo” will be like. I know my grandparents would be looking at me as if I were crazy – using such words as floppy disk, disk, DVD, iPOD, blue ray; and everything is so small. They wouldn’t recognize my camera either. Another reason I’m doing iHCPL is to keep the lines of communication functioning with my grandsons.

I do not use text lingo so Lingo 2 Word is a great help !

The accident involving the commuter train was so tragic. Since you must be a sighted person to drive anything that hampers your awareness or vision is dangerous, of course. I have witnessed near accidents with people on the cell phone. We do not yet have self-guided cars, the driver is still necessary – so the vision and attention of the driver should not be hampered or reduced. The consequences, as we all know, can be dire.
