Que Sera Sara?

I remember receiving my first text. I didn’t even know phones were capable of such things and thought “well that’s genius.”

I can send information urgently without interrupting.

I can receive information quickly without having to stop what I’m doing (unless it’s driving) or go find/talk to/ call someone.

I can chat withs someone really far away like they are in the room.

I can ignore and turn them off when it’s unneeded.

Not as feel-good as real mail. But faster. And free. And instant.

Asynchronous communication for the win!
