Texting

Texting is the act of composing and sending brief written messages, typically using a mobile phone or other electronic device, via Short Message Service (SMS), instant messaging apps, or other digital communication platforms. It has become a ubiquitous form of communication, offering a quick and convenient way to exchange information, coordinate activities, and maintain social connections. The brevity of text messages often leads to a casual tone and reliance on abbreviations, emojis, and informal language. texting allows for asynchronous communication, meaning that parties don't need to be simultaneously available to exchange messages, making it very convenient for modern lifestyles.
