I'm 33 and I love texting. I text family members, friends, and even some of my customers (if I think they are phone-saavy enough to receive, read, and reply). It allows you to ask or say small things without making an actual call. If someone is in the store, in a college class, at their desk job or eating lunch and would not otherwise get or take a phone call, they can still see a text message and often reply to it faster.
It's also great for those people you know that like to ramble on and talk blah-blah-blah, when you just want to ask or say something quickly and be done with it. You know if you call the person you're going to be stuck for half an hour minimum, but you can text and get a quick reply and that's the end of it.
It can be good in situations where you need to transfer information like an address, phone number, ebay item number, tracking number, etc. Rather than trying to read and repeat that information over the phone you get it in text so you can refer back to it later and not have to write it down.
If the internet and this forum had been around when the c4 was put into production, you old geezers would be bitching and whining because the car no longer had a carburetor and v-belts, and no 8-track in the dash.

Ahhh yes....fond memories. It's tough being cast aside for an electronic doo dad. 
Oh, that goes without saying.....and she has a horrified look and a death grip on the arm rests....
Yeah, well what would you expect us to do if we had just bought our third copy of "Frampton Comes Alive" on 8 track....and suddenly had no way to play it!!

Don't forget, us old wheezers and geezers grew up with the scents of aromatic-added gasoline, hot Permatex, and 23 cent gas pumps, open highways and no seatbelts while we flew our road rockets on $10 Cornell tires through the limits of our speedometers while you pups were more than a generation away from daylight...
