Comments on girl texting excessively in Orlando.

Technology related, sorta. This will be moved to my other blog after work.

The original girl texting excessively story is here

And at this point I must say, when I was a teen in the mid to late 80′s I was chatting on multi-user BBSes before the kids in school knew what a modem, let alone a BBS was – they thought I was weird. This was one of the earliest forms of texting… The coolest part about it was that the kids I was talking to were all affluent, and I was not, but it put me on an even playing field with those kids that I would rather hang out with anyway. Because of my “chatting” habits, the kids at school thought I was “weird”. As it turns out, I was just ahead of my time. That practice helped me see what I could be in my future. Technology is a wonderful thing.
