My mom told me about the "dangers" that she sees in electronic text communication of all types. She fought the e-mail fight years ago because writing a hand written letter was "actually personal, and from the heart." Then she was against instant messaging to communicate instead of a phone conversation, in spite of its convenience. Again, it was because personality was taken out of the conversation, as well as emotions such as sarcasm, and simple laughing (she wasn't a fan of "lol"). Now it's text messaging. She thinks we're turning into robots.
Then again, she's also the biggest luddite I've ever met.
