What is it with cell phones and Texting/Twitter?

[Periplaneta Americana: Tym]

Why do people like it so much? Phones are for talking on not typing like a computer, in the future we're all going to be mimes I swear. I mean I've seen people texting right next to each other to each other.

Seriously whats the point of these things.
First off, I'm only 16. How am I a loser because I know how to speak? Celebrities are just humans, there nothing special. I don't care if that guy from twilight is going clubbing or if the women from 10 things I hate about you is dating. Its just another way that shallow people can get on with their lives, if you not able to talk to them on the phone then your not suppose to. Wait until you can. job meeting and such are suppose to be used for work! I mean really, I don't care what the jonas brothers are doing.

Why do you people care in the first place? I don't need to know what my friends are doing 24/7. if this is what the twenty first century is becoming then we're all going to die because we forgot how to breath with out cell phone texting.

Its like the blond joke with the head phones except it actually will happen.
