It is quite often that I will get a phone call from one of my single but almost in love friends. It goes kind of like this:
Friend: Jake just sent me this message!
And then they read the message.
The nice thing about text messages, is unlike the times when we actually had to take someone else's word on how a conversation went along with the niggling out of details of did she say "need" or "want"? And then, did he reply "Yes" or "Yeah"? The text message can be consulted as a factual document. It is even date stamped.
But that's not even the best part.
The best part is that it also records what the other person said before they received the text message. Why is this so great? Because as anyone who has taken an English Literature class knows: Context is everything.
Look at the message that you sent--that came before the message--for a better understanding of what the received text message means. You will be amazed.
