needless to say, this has functionally erased much space for flirtation by text, except in those rare instances in which a string of more or less arbitrary letters is the perfect next move.
someday soon i am going to get another device and throw this one far far into the ocean.

The obvious solution is to call tech support and record it. And before you throw it in the ocean, take the battery out and recycle it

It drives me up the wall when people text in lecture. They're paying $500 for a class, yet they're too busy pecking away at their phone under the desk to be paying attention. And they think they're being discreet, that no one can see them. I hate to disappoint them, but everyone, including the professor, knows what you're doing.

For me, the incognito part is that people can't hear what I'm saying. If they're texting in class, at least they're not talking.

Assuming 8 hours of sleep per day, this comes out to one text per two minutes of every waking hour. I can manage 2000, but that's ridiculous.
