I have only been texting about 12 years myself. I know it has changed a little over the years, but It doesn't seem drastric. I'm sorry I don't have a link to the story, im sure someone could find one. Has anyone here been texting that close to twenty years?? Be sure to post if you have?

Guest shiloh357 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 LOL, I have never had a phone that could text. I have never had texting added to my bill. I think that texting is a reversal of technology where cell phones are concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I was into Ham Radio as a kid in the '70's. Back then we had "texting." It was called Morse Code . . . There was also a medieval device known as the typewriter, later became the telex (teletype.) Later there was Internet Relay Chat, or IRC, which is still in use today. I don't do texting on a cell phone as I see no need for it personally. I prefer using a real keyboard or Morse key (though my code is a bit rusty.) Your mileage may vary.
