Texting has become part of all of our lives. We have all used it at some point.  I find texting a great way to communicate with people. The function I love the most and that I find the most convenient is when I get a text from a company reminding me of a payment that I need to get done. But even with all of its benefits texting also has its disadvantages.

I have found that is not such a great idea to use texting as a way to communicate with family. At times it might seem like I am in touch with all of my cousins and aunts. We can text for hours over silly things, and even plan things out. Sadly the really is that it only makes our relation more dry, and distant. I have found myself unable to keep a conversation in person with cousins that I can text for hours. I don’t know if this only happens to me, but I wish I could be able to have long conversation in person rather than via text message.

For the most part I don’t like to watch reality shows. The only reality shows that I like to watch are those of competitions. I feel like reality shows where someone’s life is exposed are not always real.  I think some of the things that they do or go through are acted. I think that reality shows in a way are harming society’s point of view over life. Some young people may get the idea from these shows that it is perfectly fine to be promiscuous, party uncontrollably, and have no responsibilities.

Even though I completely respect the fact that some people enjoy watching these shows, I try to avoid them. However, like I said at the beginning the only reality shows I enjoy are those of competitions like the ones that come out in the cooking channel.
