Technology of the Young
Both of my parents text-message me. I have, in my life, sent perhaps two text-messages. Maybe this is due to them having smart phones, but I just don't get it.

Now, I do actually make use of text-messages in my daily work. I've configured one of our mission-critical systems at work to text-message me in case of problems (alarm limit violations, etc). I chose this path as I am significantly more likely to have my phone at any given time than to necessarily be checking my email. This also removes any need to create some sort of text-to-speech gateway with phone dialing capability to relay the same information or to rely on one of our human operators to spot the issue and call me.

Perhaps my opinion will change if I ever get a smartphone.
