Texting! Good or Bad?

Texting now day is big. It's one of the most common ways we communicate. I actually text quite a bit. It's convenient and doesn't get in other peoples way, like talking on the phone. I do dislike how without veerbalizing ceratin things, they can have a different meaning, or come off as rude or mean when they weren't  intended to be. My mom, on the opther hand, hates texting. Shes always talking on the phone, which irritates me because I can't talk to her, listen to music, or visit with anyone else. I think talking on the phone is much more disruptive. A lot of people go overboard, to the point they hardly talk to the people they are with at the time. Anything can be too much though, so as long as you don't take texting too far, I think it's a good thing. What do you think? Do you text?
