Text Messaging hidden emotions



Text messaging, or texting, refers to the exchange of brief written text messages between fixed-line phone or mobile phone and fixed or portable devices over a network.

But has anyone thought what is hidden behind each text message?!

Think about it…. It might change your attitude towards messages…

You are writing a text message
Do you know what is going happen next? You sent it

Yes, and you received notification that the message is sent.

The message was received!

What is going to happen now? And now THE worst part, you are starting to wait for a reply.

Reply from who? Of course from HER!

But you are smart, you finished your message with the question mark, you wanted her to reply immediately, because it is impossible wait for reply. How is it possible wait for HER reply?

Even in the noisiest nightclub, or during interesting movie, or even when you sleep you will notice the move and light of the screen of your phone with incoming message.

Message from who? From HER. In the darkness the phone is shining as the shiniest star. It's HER!

And now you know, now you know for sure, why people need long fingers: for pressing buttons on your phone! You are pressing buttons that becomes letters, and letter become words and those words flies directly to the space.

Flies where? To HER!
"Hi, smile :).
I'm thinking about you smile :).
When can we see each other? Ten times smile :)))
And kiss xxx as many kisses as possible to fit in one message...
…..Smile"

Text messages are not as simple as they look like, each message you receive or send has hidden story, feeling and emotions to tell and sshow…. It is my next digital story topic... share your experiences... agree or disagree…but you can not deny the fact "texting is much more pressing buttons"

  1. I'm very curious about this. As a person who rarely sends or receives SMS text messages - except in responses to request to pick-up groceries on the way home - it's difficult to imagine the anxious tension so well described in your blog post.

    Can't wait to see how you develop this project idea.
