Some people don't like texting but I am one who prefers texting over talking on the phone.
What do you prefer about texting over talking? 
I am just not a talker and be very busy so the communication to my family and friends using messages is much more complex.
That makes sense. Do you think emotions or context gets lost over text messages?
Yes a lot of times even when I receive certain text I be like wait is this suppose to be a inappropriate message or is my mom mad at or me or think I am being impolite. So it does have some down falls.
Does your entire family text more than talk on the phone?
