Counter point:

- my phone is always on me

- I spend less than 20% of my time in front of a computer (and I work in tech!)

- Everyone I know has a cell phone

- I can start a group chat with anyone I know

- iMessage is very pleasant and easily allows me to share photos I have taken without compression

- Most people I know respond to texts within 5 minutes, so it is good “mostly synchronous” communication

- If someone has my phone number then I consider them to be important.

I wouldn’t write a short story on my phone, but if I had a short story to tell I would probably just use my phone to call someone I care about and tell the story to them. SMS is the perfect lowest common denominator and I will miss it dearly when it is gone.
