History of the Text Message – Infographic

I remember when nobody texted and then when a text cost 10 cents. Now I have unlimited texting and my family and friends text me all the time. Nobody talks anymore, they only text.  On Dec 3rd 1992 the first text message was sent and the best part about it – “Merry Christmas” was all it said.

The first time I started to text was in 2004 and I have not looked back. Texting will forever be here. Everyone is texting from grandmas and grandpas to kids. Texting and twitter have almost become intertwined and everyone is on facebook as well. In such a digitally connected society, what will be next?
