The document discusses some of the effects of text messaging on communication. It notes that while texting has become ubiquitous, it can negatively impact interpersonal communication by replacing real conversations. Texting allows people to connect more but cuts out nonverbal cues from human interaction. Different age groups also use texting differently, with teens sending many more texts than phone calls. This overreliance on texting for young people can be problematic as their social skills are still developing. The document recommends mixing up communication methods and having in-person conversations to develop social skills.
