Regarding texting: If you could speak the words into your phone, and your phone translated it to text, do you think texting would be as popular as it is?

I mean, you have to admit…there is something about texting that’s kind of cool. I’ll spend five minutes creating a 160 character text (max characters I have—and it can be a challenge) rather than spending one minute calling the person to tell them the same thing! If you didn’t have to manually create those words…if you could just speak them, would it be the same? Or is the appeal of texting just that…say what you have to say then ‘ktxbie’ (Sorry. I’ve been reading the LOL cats Bible today!) where as with a conversation you have to say, “Ok. Talk to you later…..Ok. Ok, tomorrow then. Ok. Talk to you later. Ok. Bye.”
