When it comes to cell phones I'm like a crotchety old man. If I wanted a goddamn camera I'd buy a goddamn camera, goddammit. And don't get me started on text messages.

I text plenty.
I had a friend like you who thought text messaging was stupid and backwards.
"Why don't you just call them??"
Try calling 10 plus people to let them know you've made it safely to your destination.
Try connecting a call at all during an evacuation. (Yes, texts still get through)
Texting lets you fire and forget, great in a work environment.
Plus sometimes I don't want to have a conversation, but would rather simply make a statement such as: "I wanna put it in you all day."
Bah. Like I used to tell my mom, don't bother checking up on me. If something happens you'll be notified by the morgue.

On CNN last night they reported that the authorities in Galveston were telling people to text instead of calling because it doesn't muck with the service the way that calling does. The story didn't elaborate, but I'm assuming it is so that people can get 911 calls through.
