Have you texted anyone today? I bet most of you have, or will, depending on the time of the day you’re reading this post. Despite phone calls usually being more convenient, plus the growth of video chatting apps like iPhone’s FaceTime, text messaging seems to be holding strong, refusing to be deemed obsolete. Is it on the rise, though, has it plateaued, or maybe there is some decline after all? Bear with me as I examine the state of texting in the year 2019.
