Captain Oz and I last night were teasing the teens at our table at Pizza Hut. Here were three teenagers, sitting RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER, and texting each other on their cell phones.
I recognize that many kids today use texting as a way to avoid having their conversations overheard by their parents, but seriously, these kids were right next to each other. Has the art of conversation completely gone by the wayside?
I can see the future. Boy meets girl. Boy texts girl. They date. Boy asks girl's father if they can marry via text message. Boy asks girl to marry him via text. Minister gives vows via text message. Boy and girl have a baby born with his own QWERTY keyboard.
Not to mention the english teacher's lament that text messaging is bastardizing the language today! Our "for sure", "like totally", and "like Oh My God" had nothing on these kids. Heaven help us all.
