When we’re older, our style of texting will be the old people style of texting 📱. As the digital age continues to evolve, so do our communication habits. What we consider normal and efficient today may become outdated and slow in the future. In this article, we’ll explore how our texting style may change as we age, and how we can adapt to new communication trends.
The Evolution of Texting
In the early days of texting, we were limited to using T9 keyboards on our flip phones. Texting was slow, tedious, and often resulted in hilarious autocorrect mishaps. As technology advanced, smartphones with full keyboards and predictive text were introduced, making texting easier and faster. Today, emojis, gifs, and memes are an integral part of our texting style.
The Old People Style of Texting
As we age, our texting habits may change. It’s not uncommon to receive texts from older relatives that are devoid of emojis, gifs, or abbreviations. Instead, they may use proper grammar, punctuation, and complete sentences. While this may seem archaic compared to our current style of texting, it’s a reflection of a different era and communication preference.
How Our Style of Texting Will Change
As we become older, our texting style may shift towards a more formal and proper approach. While emojis and abbreviations may still be prevalent, we may find ourselves typing complete sentences and using proper punctuation more frequently. This shift could be attributed to a desire for clearer and more professional communication, or simply a reflection of the norms we were accustomed to in our youth.
Adapting to New Communication Trends
While our style of texting may change as we age, it’s important to stay adaptable and open to new communication trends. Embracing emojis, gifs, and memes can add a fun and expressive element to our messages, regardless of our age. Additionally, staying informed about new texting features and apps can help us stay current and connected with younger generations.
Key Takeaways:
1. Our style of texting evolves with technology and age.
2. The old people style of texting may include proper grammar and punctuation.
3. Adapting to new communication trends can enhance our texting experience.
4. Embracing emojis and gifs can add expression to our messages.
In conclusion, as we navigate the digital age, our style of texting will inevitably change. While the old people style of texting may differ from our current habits, it’s important to embrace new communication trends and stay adaptable. By understanding and accepting these changes, we can continue to connect and communicate effectively in the ever-evolving digital world.
so real gangy we not gon have no motion up in this bitch frfr
It already is for me and I’m 29
I find my texting remains how it was… I pretend I’m mature by not adding emojis and such but when I’m talking to my friends I just text like this lol 😆 <-
Maybe we just have to add some text speak such as bro, brah, or periodt
I used EXP instead of XP in a discord once and everyone started calling me grandpa…
Yup that’s exactly how time works good job buddy
We already went through a different style of texting
I’m not sure of this, at least in some ways.
My recall is that the heavily-abbreviated text used in the last 30 years is actually similar to the shorthand that was used to transmit Morse Code and even Semaphore messages.
My aunt grandma had phones from the candybar era and she still painstakingly type with one finger and will often abbreviate words by removing vowels on her smartphone
I wrote letters when I was a kid. Texting was not a thing yet.
That’s probably true to an extent, but people who are old now didn’t grow up texting at all. Things will definitely change, but I doubt we’ll end up as far behind as our grandparents.
L O L that is too funny!!
Ah yes, to be the guy that says “back in my days game play mechanisms were much easier, you attack, you deal damage”
Dude, I say lol or lmao and use 🙂 so I think I’m already there
[“You mean you gotta use your hands? That’s like a baby’s toy!”](https://youtu.be/KMy1zO8m8sM?si=GVH9l2UpkgFKW6mc)
Our great great great descendants text only in iambic pentameter, unlike those tragic elderly persons and their, ugh, EMOJIS. Can you imagine the SCANDAL of being caught using an emoji? Perish the thought, Reginald! Now, do be a good man and yeet me over the bong. Thank you, kindly!
Sorry to break it to you, but I’m already old and texting.
*”I ain’t plugging that damned thing into my brain! Fuck that! What ever happened to virtual keyboards on glass screens?”*
💩🌈☠️🤡Spleech fer yer tribe flerbknocker🏍️🥇🔥Ima stay yeeting with that rizajizzlers, ya smell me?🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
It’s already noticeably dated lol
(Do you see what I did? That’s the style from my age group, ending every sentence in lol)
I’m so tired of obvious statements like this in the sub. This is just as bad as “we’re closer to blank than blank”
I already feel like this using gifs so frequently in texts. That’ll be what kids make fun of us for soon.
This is why aside from “lol” I still use proper English when texting.
That is how time works, yes
“Did you just say LOL?!”
So, complete sentences with proper grammar will be how old people text? Oh boy, I can’t wait to see those grandkids text me. How funny.
I text how I talk. I enjoy writing actual words and sentences.
Proper sentences and punctuation?
I think Gen X and younger are more adaptable to technological changes. Too many boomers, especially the older ones not so much. Whenever something new comes out, you can see a 55 year old using it. But a 65 year old and up? They’re stubborn as mules to learn
You mean yelling your message into your phone and not proofreading before you send it.
