He sent the first text message 20 years ago, and forever changed the world
The bespectacled Mr. Papworth was a 22-year-old engineer on the job one December day when he was assigned to do something novel: Send a text message. And so Mr. Papworth, then an employee at a software company in England, typed out the words that would launch a trillion thumbs.

How has texting become a universal communication tool?
Where would we be without text messaging? The feature has grown from being favored by the tech-savvy to a universal staple. It's allowed us to be more efficient, independent and direct. When you're running late, you text someone to let them know. When you're in class or a meeting and there's an emergency, you know immediately. When you need a quick "yes" or "no," you ask via text.
How did such a seemingly simple method of communication lead us to the trillions of texts sent today? If you'd like to know more information on the history of text messaging then this link below will provide you with all the information of the creation of texting

We never talk anymore: The problem with text messaging
You do not want to talk to me on the phone. How do I know? Because I don’t want to talk to you on the phone. Nothing personal, I just can’t stand the thing. I find it intrusive and somehow presumptuous. It sounds off insolently whenever it
chooses and expects me to drop whatever I’m doing and, well, engage. With others! When I absolutely must, I take the call, but I don’t do a very good job of concealing my displeasure. A close family member once offered his opinion
that I exhibit the phone manners of a goat, then promptly withdrew the charge — out of fairness to goats.
