Backward Technology

Media Girl has taken to sending text messages to my cell phone.

My reply is generally call when u can.

Text messaging is a PITA. Press the key once for A, twice for B, etc. I feel like I'm sending Morse Code. Never mind the keys are so close together that I generally end up pressing two at a time.

Why would I want to peck out a message in this fashion when I can use the same device to actually speak with the person?

Somehow wireless providers have taken us back to the days of teletype and convinced us we're making advances.
