Keeping It Short Isn't Sweet

Keeping It Short Isn't SweetIn today`s generation, people are used to interacting by having online chat sessions with one another more than they see actually being face to face these days. People send sweet little nothings to their significant others and spouses and they send tweets to random acquaintances they will probably never hang out with in person. So the question is are our short texts, tweets and email messages as sweet as we think they are? Think again.

Despite the fact that majority of people are now all college and university educated, society can`t seem to bring themselves to write something more than 140 characters to people. According to a recent sex dating survey, twenty-two percent of men generally send texts and tweets that consist of only one word. These commonly used words include ‘bbm, gtalk, hello, hey, msn, sup, yo and u?` Only two of those are actually words you should know.

Women are far more chat-friendly and only fifteen percent of women send texts and tweets that solely consist of a single word.

So what can we get out of this? First of all, we should do our high school teachers and University professors proud and start writing more than one damn word to each other. It`s bad enough that we are all cooped up at home living our lives through our computers. We should start interacting with the people in our lives more often and unless we have anything meaningful to say, don`t text it. When it comes down to it, words are all anybody has that is meaningful in this life. So, use them!
