Text messaging is a form of communicating thru a phone by typing information in a message and sending it to somones phone. Matti Makkonen from Finland invented the concept around 1975 but it didn’t take off till years later. It was originally designed for deaf people because they cannot hear and if they need to talk to someone they dont have to go and see them or send them emails and letters. It is a good way to keep in touch with people and get to know them a little better, some people use texting for their their buisness.

Students from universities and high schools use text messaging to communicate; so students can tell each other notes or what work has been assigned if a student misses a day of class. Text messaging can be used with teachers and students as well. If a professor is nice enough to text the students assignments; text messaging would be huge beneficial for college students.
