I remember when texting first came out.
I said it would never take off because it seems we'd progressed from runners and smoke signals, to the carrier-pigeon, to the postal service, to the telegraph, to the telephone, to automatic dialling, to progressively cheaper international calls, to cellphones. So why would we want to revert to texting which is essentially a p2p telegram.
I was wrong.
My daughter thinks "old skool" is a matchbox size cellphone where hitting the 1 button three times got you the letter C.
