As texting has become the most popular means of communication today, it’s no wonder that so many have used this technological approach to having an affair, breaking up with a significant other, and sending sexual innuendos over the internet.
In light of the recent scandals gracing headlines from celebrities like Tiger Woods and Jesse James’ “Chexting on their wives” to Reggie Bush “Brexting” Kim Kardashian, the folks at Predicto.com – the largest paid mobile community – offer the top 10 reasons people text instead of talk:
1. Speed – Sending a text message gets to a recipient much quicker than a conversation
2. Emotion – Texting is a great way to mask any emotions, whether good or bad
3. Convenience – Texting can be practiced while doing numerous tasks
4. Universal – Texts can be sent from anywhere and at anytime
5. Memory – Texts can be saved and re-read in order to regain memory of a previous conversation
6. Efficiency – Text messages are more cost efficient than phone calls
7. Controversy – Texting is a great way to prevent controversy. You don’t need to respond if you don’t feel like arguing
8. Silence – Texting is a silent act of communication, so unless you forward your texts, it stays between the sender and the recipient
9. Deletion – If you change your mind about saying something, you have the ability to delete the message before its sent
10. Evidence – Especially when it comes to cheating, you have the ability to delete all evidence that anything ever happened over text
