My husband is in charge of all phone, email and texting duties at home. He even has to turn on the TV and air conditioning because I’m so hopeless with technology. Becki Newton

Everybody is continuously connected to everybody else on Twitter, on Facebook, on Instagram, on Reddit, e-mailing, texting, faster and faster, with the flood of information jeopardizing meaning. Everybody’s talking at once in a hypnotic, hyper din: the cocktail party from hell. Maureen Dowd

Millennials regularly draw ire for their cell phone usage. They’re mobile natives, having come of age when landlines were well on their way out and payphones had gone the way of dinosaurs. Because of their native fluency, Millennials recognize mobile phones can do a whole lot more than make calls, enable texting between friends or tweeting. Chelsea Clinton
If you’re looking for ways of getting quick communication, maybe texting is the way to go. People can’t walk these days without having one hand balancing a smart phone. If that’s the way people are going to live, it is the case that something that vibrates in their hand is going to get their attention more quickly than an email. Ray Tomlinson

I live in England, so I take a lot of trains, and you can’t really go anywhere without somebody talking on their mobile phone behind you, forcing you to listen to their conversation. With the Internet, with texting, with networking sites, there’s already information everywhere. Patrick Ness
A lot of times I think the cast members, the lead characters in a show really set the tone for the show. On some shows, the stars of the show will just be whining and complaining and spending the whole time texting their boyfriends on their Blackberries, and there’s just no attention given to the work. Misha Collins

I’ve always had an uneasy relationship with technology and how it insinuates itself into our lives: for example. I always prefer talking face-to-face with friends than texting or calling, and if I want to get updates on their lives, I don’t go to Facebook but meet them in person. Ng Chin Han
I do think technology really has changed the way that we communicate with each other and texting can be the way to communicate and to kind of get up the nerve to say things that maybe you wouldn’t say in real life, but that also comes with a price. Shannon Purser
Rap and spoken word have reawakened the country to poetry in itself. Texting and Twitter encourage creative uses of casual language, in ways I have celebrated widely. But we’ve fallen behind on savoring the formal layer of our language. John McWhorter
Most single people I know, myself included, have a difficult time even meeting up with the people they like, be it busy schedules, texting games, or whatever. Aziz Ansari

I was born deaf. I was raised in a hearing world and in a deaf world at the same time. I can’t say that I like one better than I like the other. I like them both. I speak pretty well; I gesture. If I don’t understand something, you know, pen and paper, texting. I use it all. Sean Berdy
A couple days ago, I saw a lot of people tweeting, ‘Oh, it’s so cool ‘Home’ is being used in the Olympics!’ We don’t really get to watch much TV, man, with the concerts every night, but I wish I could have seen it. I really just found out through Twitter and my management texting me. I thought it was really awesome. Phillip Phillips

Texting is apocalyptic on some level. It’s a reduction of things. Nick Cave
Today’s kids aren’t taking up arms against their parents; they’re too busy texting them. Nancy Gibbs
I was involved with MySpace and Facebook and everything at a very young age because it’s so casual now, and I’m into texting, obviously. But I’ve never been involved in any type of chat room. My parents are pretty cautious about it and know all my passwords and know who my friends are and who I’m talking to. Liana Liberato
As for tweeting and texting: impassioned discussions, particularly when they’re intimate, don’t work in abbreviated script messages. No relationship should begin or end in 140 characters. Mariella Frostrup
Anything that you can become obsessed with, and you do so much that you don’t do the things you need to do with family, friends, school, job – that can be an addiction. And texting absolutely can qualify. Dale Archer
I prefer face-to-face conversation as opposed to texting. You need to go out of your way to spend good time with one another; you need to have a date night. Whether you have kids or a career or whatever, for a relationship to thrive, it’s about making time for each other. James Marsden
Texting is incredibly anxiety-laden, but I know people who will have a full-blown panic attack if you call them. I’m one of those nightmare humans where the little mailbox has an ellipsis on it because I have 1000 unread emails. So texting is the most immediate yet least anxious of all the incredibly anxious ways that we talk to each other. Mary H.K. Choi
I was texting with someone the other day and they asked me a question, ‘What would do you if you didn’t play basketball, or if you didn’t play baseball? What would you want to do as a job?’ My answer was, ‘I’ve never even thought about it.’ Pat Connaughton

The international limit on mobile texting, or SMS, is 160 characters.

So we said it has to be within 160 characters, all the tweets. Biz Stone

It’s annoying when someone’s in front of you driving ten miles an hour, and you’re like, ‘Okay, today,’ and someone else is on the side of you, so you can’t pass them, and when you finally do pass them and they are texting, the laser cannons just come out and disintegrate that car. Glenn Danzig
You have nothing if you’re texting a guy in a relationship. We can text six women a minute. We can text it and push ‘reply all.’ I mean, since we’re lying, we might as well lie to everybody. Steve Harvey
I’ve been texting for a year with a couple of guys without ever going on a date with them. Chloe Sevigny

I think 99 percent of the time, texting your ex is a horrible idea. JP Saxe

I’m rarely in a position where I can actually answer my phone without being rude to someone else. Sometimes I look back and realize it’s been weeks since I’ve actually been alone. With texting, I can at least get a sense of what’s going on without interrupting what I’m doing. Steve Huffman

Also, because people like to multitask, in a way if you’ve got a bit of music on in the background and the lyrical content is making you want to listen to it, then that would probably put you off the texting you wanted to do. I think people like things that just make that right kind of noise, but leave your brain free to do something else. Jarvis Cocker
It was on the highway – I was completely stopped and the girl behind me was texting and not paying attention and ran into me going 60 miles an hour. From that point on, I had chronic back pain every single day for about five years. It was worse than I could have imagined. Tayshia Adams
I am always texting! Kiernan Shipka
I find texting to be kind of a safe space. Mary H.K. Choi

Who would know but ten years ago that kids would be texting each other all the time, that that would be one of their main forms of communication.

Amy Klobuchar
My brother keeps texting me about the latest Audi and BMWs that have come. He keeps suggesting I buy one of them. He does share the specifications. Smriti Mandhana

When I directed the ‘Ring’ cycle at the Metropolitan Opera in New York recently, there were people texting all through the show. But theatre isn’t a communication device: it’s a communion. Robert Lepage

Katie Hafner
People are texting and smash into the car in front of them – I think there is some humor in that. And the virtual games. People are playing these virtual games, but they’re real – I mean, the people are really playing, but it’s not a game. Joe Walsh

Victoria Justice
Who would know but ten years ago that kids would be texting each other all the time, that that would be one of their main forms of communication. Amy Klobuchar
I’ve always been a texting advocate. Mary H.K. Choi
If I’m going to the White House, my alarm goes off at 5:00 A. M. Typically there is no snoozing; jump out of bed, text my producer, often start texting with sources if there’s breaking news that’s happened overnight, and I’m off and running from that moment on. Kristen Welker
I like texting as much as the next kidult – and embrace it as yet more evidence, along with email, that we live now in the post-aural age, when an unsolicited phone call is, thankfully, becoming more and more understood to be an unspeakable social solecism, tantamount to an impertinent invasion of privacy. Will Self
Now we’re e-mailing and tweeting and texting so much, a phone call comes as a fresh surprise. I get text messages on my cell phone all day long, and it warbles to alert me that someone has sent me a message on Facebook or a reply or direct message on Twitter, but it rarely ever rings. Susan Orlean
You can only adjust to so much history in your life. I still have trouble texting. Robert Christgau
