@ -2! (yes me)

Upon further looking there was a really old comic where Biff’s phone line is upgraded to fibre (and becomes a tin can).

Also: I could be related to the reinvention of written (or rather typed) messages, or reinvention a new feature on a phone.

I am now determined to make reinvention fit tomorrows comic SOMEHOW!

I’m with radical edward. I don’t text enough to spend $5 a month on it (maybe $5 a year) for unlimited texting. Plus, it is easier to call someone unless you or they are at work, or you’re trying to communicate across a classroom at your parents’ expense.

Hmmm, I wonder how great this “unlimited texting” will be if Biff is limited to the letters in a can. Is every can of alphabet soup guaranteed to have all the letters of the alphabet anyway? I can just imagine a bunch of soup cans lying around with “z”s, “y”s, and “x”s still inside.

@Space Butler – my girlfriend is deaf, and texting is the only way cell phones are truly available to her to use. Even using landlines isn’t all that accessible, because first one needs a TDD machine, and then using a Relay service if the other number lacks a TDD as well, and most people are so grossly uneducated about relay services for the deaf that the majority of businesses hang up on the agent before they can even have a chance to say what they are, resulting in having to call back several times before actually getting through.

i always text my friends because its something you can do all day, for the most part no matter what you’re doing. Have a free second? Send a text. And its a lot less awkward if you dont want to talk to the person

I rarely text, but I do receive text messages from my father.
I use my cell phone as a phone, which, I know, seems outdated, but I’ve never text anybody since it would probably cost more.
