You hinted at it with your last point, "Older people who don’t get it *wink* *smile* (just those who dont have myspace/facebook or a texting plan)." Its not so much that 'older people dont get it' but as soon as a teenager's mother or father creates a "KOOLER" MySpace page than their kids, the teenager looks for the next thing that 'old people' havn't touched yet. Sadly there is a 'cool factor' that is lost as soon as too many people use a serivce/ product / technology. I believe the biggest driver in making text messaging so popular to the younger generation is that 'old people' have yet to use it. The day Dad laughes at Junior's joke, exclaims "L.O.L. Robert will love that one," as he pulls out his T-Mobile SideKick...is the day text messaging will be for 'old people.' I think youre missing one of the most important points about this article.

It's interesting, but sooner or later, we will probably be having the same convo about text messaging or even Facebook. Everything moves so fast! Yep.

I don't use my email for much other than work, and for communicating with people who are not a part of my closest social network. For the rest, I tend to use either Facebook or text messages.
