text messaging is dead by 2018.
liars!
i will never, ever, ever stop texting, even when i have [guaranteed] carpal tunnel syndrome and i need quadri-focals because i’ve looked at a computer screen and typed for 10 hours straight five days a week for years and years.
never!
you can’t stop me.
okay maybe you can but pipsqueak you-tied-your-tube man said that it’s over for the texting.
take it as you like it but i think it’s a hulla-bulla ham sandwich talk if you ask me!
YouTube founder claims text is dead by 2018
“In ten years, we believe that online video broadcasting will be the most ubiquitous and accessible form of communication.” It’s on the Official Google Blog, so take YouTube founder Chad Hurley’s claim as a company statement. I envy Google’s ability to have it both ways on just about any topic.
Hurley claims his own site’s “exponential growth” means video is becoming the dominant means of communication — not just for news and entertainment, but for everyday communication between individual people. He ignores the real-world evidence that people vastly prefer text-based communications — email, IM, phone texting — rather than the video tools built into nearly all new computers and most phones. Because he’s rich and works for Google, Hurley’s claim will be widely quoted today, and conveniently forgotten in ten years. Here’s what no one will ask him: Chad, why did you post your world-is-changing claim in text, instead of uploading a video? (Photo by AP/Danny Moloshok)
