A broken up txt is only hard to read on non smartphones since they have much smaller screens, and have to click to open each one individually.

I also never have a problem with this since I just call the person....I mean why spend 30 minutes texting 10 pages of information when you can call them and tell them the same information in 15 seconds? lol. I never understood why people would send paragraphs and pages of text messages, when they could just press send to call the person and be done with it in 10% of the time. Plus, texting is so impersonal...I think if you get the the point where you are typing that much in a txt message you should just get a data package and send an email.

1. My phone's too smart from her; that's pretty much straight from her mouth.

2. I like being able to do things and not be tied to the phone. With texting, I can say something and get an answer and read and reply when I get the chance. With phone calls, I can't concentrate properly on what I'm doing. In my case, I'm usually doing something computer related, where concentration's extremely important.
