I resisted texting and social media for many years. I'm almost 30 now and have finally found how useful these tools can be. In many cases where I wouldn't pick up the phone, I'll send a text. This kind of communication opens the door to increased face to face social encounters and encourages deeper friendships. While I'm not sure this is true for everyone, I have become a supporter of texting and sites like Facebook.
