  • So true how people become so anti-social and tries to say everything through a text messages. Besides you have to think about this that if your service provider doesn't have the biggest bandwidth, calls are the first one to reach their destinations, text messages comes second and may take some time to reach the other person.

  • Loved this. I hate texting very much so. Mostly because I hate talking to people over the phone anyways. I'd rather just talk to folks in person.

    But this was really funny and well done!

  • Cute little pod. Could be a lot more sarcastic to get the point across; as it was I feel it was stuck part way mildly amusing on an observational matter & being not quite comedic enough to be a "funny" pod.

    But I liked it though.

  • What a funny pod. Its going to be funny when our whole generation ends up with carpal tunnel

  • Ben you're so funny! You have a cute lisp (!) and remind me a little (looks-wise) of Barack Obama. I love all the different settings you're in, even lying down on a big rock! That looks hard.

    I loved the piece, the message and the humor. More!

    (One hint from filmmaker to filmmaker -- get a bounce card so you bounce some light into your eyes when outdoors so we can see them. You know how Current.com mashes up the video and makes it all look like mush. So a bounce card would let us see your twinkly eyes more.)

    This is just more linguistic declensionist nonsense. See Language Log's takedown of this rubbish at this link.

    Also, this guy has apparently never heard of Twitter.

    I couldn't agree with you more!

  • The illiterate - lets face it - have phones and probably read text messages better than anyone! This is a funny film, well-put together, nicely presented.

  • ...oh, and your world map to example 'foreign' was a lovely touch!

  • Awesome video. I like to text small things like "be there in 5" if I'm in a movie or something, but I hate it when people text stuff like, "hey dude, how's it going?" And try and start up a full text message conversation.

  • Nice pod, should be on tv!

    I think sometimes people text each other because they actually don't want to say it face to face. You can say I'm running late in text and that's the end of the conversation (hardly anyone would reply asking why). However, say that over the phone and then you have to explain yourself.
