Topic 5: Do you prefer to talk, text message, or a different communication method?
I don’t like communicating with people. I prefer blogging to myself. Talking takes too much hot air to come out. Text messaging just eats up the minutes of my cellphone, which still has a pull-out antennae! That’s why I love WordPress.com!
I can blog just about anything and no one will care in the world what I have to say, except the authorities and government — both of which may be reading my weblog. But then again that’s just my imagination. (Wink! Wink!)
If I talk, then that means I have to open up my mouth and actually interact with humans. Whatever comes out of my pie hole doesn’t always make sense and I’m forced to speak slower or say nothing at all. Plus, my hard of hearing makes conversing all that more difficult.
If I text message, then that means I have to open up my cellphone and actually use up my precious minutes. Whatever is read is quite impersonal and nothing compared to speaking with a human in person. The dynamics of interactions with emotions and gesticulations are all but lost in the internet. And MISUNDERSTANDINGS cannot be corrected fast enough by typing out messages with slow fingers on small keypads! Plus, my hard earned pennies will have all but been used up to pay for the electric bills, just to recharge the battery!
