The art of texting

Writing text messages with the correct tone and the right words to achieve the desired reaction from the recipient and a positive sequel is an art. The number of hours we (it normally takes at least two people) have spent on analysing these short messages that seem to be such an important communication channel these days. The old fashioned letters are long gone. Landlines are under threat of extermination. Emails are getting rusty. Somehow texting seems to be the ultimate way to communicate. Short, efficient messages that can easily be interpreted to our advantage (or disadvantage). We still like.
