It seems like parents and kids prefer to communicate through text messaging. Parents can text to check in on their kids without making a phone call. Kids prefer it that way because they don't get embarrassed when their parents call and its more "hip." It also avoids starting up a long conversation. It's an easier way to communicate in case someone is at work or at school and need a quick, short answer. Phone companies now feature plans for unlimited text messaging. A lot of phones come with instant messaging applications.

Yea, I sometimes like when my mother will just send me a quick text rather than call and have to tell her I can't really talk. I also think it's important to still communicate the good old fashioned way too. Text messaging and email do not convey emotion, which is very convenient for all of us and especially for business, but sometimes texting can be a copout.
