The electronic device, the motion on the screen and the moving of the fingers that keep on taping away.  Our device gives us the opportunities to stay connected and up tone with the closest people we talk to. In this particular chapter 10, lays out different ways to keep in touch and how it allows us to be alone with our thoughts, emotions, that isn’t shown on the device but knowing that messaging and texting is becoming a huge deal in the Second Life of Technology.

Texting and messaging has been the biggest component in our daily lives. It puts us in a state of mind of wondering the Second Life, in our own little world and losing the effectiveness of Communication skills. I believe that texting in general is very addictive in my circumstances, because I get the tendency to want to pick my device up and want to text my boyfriend a lot. I have the tendency to become worried because my boyfriend doesn’t text me or what he is trying to say in a text message.
