Has Texting Killed Romance Has texting really killed romance? In the digital age we live in it is possible that romance is being killed by texting. ” It used to be that boy met girl and they exchanged phone numbers. They talked and talked to friends, if all went well a date was arranged. ” As said by Ashton Kutcher in his article it used to be simple, you would ask a girl for her number, you would talk and would go out, but in this digital age we live in its simpler to Just text instead of meeting up.
Texting mitigates the risks of early failure and eliminates those deafening moments of silence. ” Basically people prefer to text because no one wants to be rejected, it would make everything awkward, that’s why we relay on texting because its a simple way of finding romance. ” Hiding behind the cloak of digital text and spell-check to present superior versions of ourselves. ” We sometimes pro-Jet our selves as better people when we text. With spell check it makes people more superior.
Like what Ashton said “A hand written letter is greater than ever. It’s personal and deliberate and means more than an email or text ever will. It shows our flaws. ” A hand written letter means more then anything digital. It shows the person your flaws the willingness to look foolish, the courage to say, This is me, and I’m interested in you enough to show you my flaws. ” We’ll put by Ashton. ” Multiple studies have shown that the average man uses about alf as many words per day as women, thus text message. I was very surprised to he about this study, it’s crazy how texting has taken over everyone’s social life. As said in a CNN article ” six billion. SMS are sent everyday and 8. 6 trillion per year as said by Portio Research. ” And this number is growing. I agree with Ashton, texting is or has already killed romance. We relay mostly on our phones to meet people and talk to them instead of meeting face to face. Lets face it Texting has killed romance.
