Yes we use it while walking, driving, eating, talking, meeting, exercising, Socializing(ironically),
Shopping...pilots use it while flying planes, the extent of the gesture's necessity
Has grown rapidly this year.....we did see that coming... i guess that's us coping with technology
.Its been officially voted by myself and others.
Yes! its Text Messaging, BBMing, Mobile Chatting whatever you wanna call it.
The gesture has become more famous than "Hi"/"Salam" its amazing, of course like everything else it has its pros and cons -
Heres a story about a BBmer:
As she was minding her own business BBming while walking her way to the jam3ya electronic door, (of course she has the map to the door memorized in her head, she didnt think she needed to look) ...then BANG! her head hits something... she looks up and its the handicapped signed she missed to notice because she was too busy sending a joke to her friend. LOL.
(true story - you can contact me for references)
Story 2:
Two girls walk into a coffee shop , where i was sitting reading across from them , the minute their butts reach the couch they start text messaging, not a word came out of their lips, they stayed like this for 30 minutes give or take... then they decided to go verbally place their order and leave (i wasn't staring i was just observing, this is just too interesting)
Its nice to moderate technological development not abuse it!
their there to facilitate our lives not replace them.
Kuwait tried to place a law against texting , phoning while driving alas the law forces cant seem to follow this simple rule. nor can i , but hey i am trying ;p
The near future of our daily communication.
Or maybe i am just exaggeration, meh.
