Text messaging

Here is what bothers me about text messaging: My mother knows how to text message. Granted, I actually have friends my mother's age who text all the time. But, my MOM?! This is so uncool on many different levels. When did she come out of the dark ages? This is someone who never, for the life of her could operate a computer properly. For years. Now she texts AND she sends emails. WHAT?! The first time she sent me a text message it kinda freaked me out a little bit. My mom just joined the new century. Eight years later......
