Who is it?

Not being able to always tell who your talking to can give anyone the courage to say things that might otherwise remain unmentioned. In fact anonymity on the small scale of texting can even make me feel powerful at times and I think it goes hand in hand with the size of the group. In a group project I am involved in, I am always speaking out when we are using text to coordinate because I feel like people could be thinking the same thing and not wanting to say. I usually get support when I speak up. When the group text is divided into half the group or less, I am more likely to take a more diplomatic approach to the planning because my presents is less likely to be diffused by the large number of poeple involved in the conversation. Sometimes I even bank on group members not having my number saved and not knowing who said it. Go figure.

  1. Good morning good post. I thought the exact same things as people not being able to always tell who your talking to and how it can give anyone the courage to say things that would remain unmentioned. Although l am not typing these words like a mad scientist with an occasional bwahahahahaha but I do no know that it gives me time to read what was written, think about what was said, and carefully type my response. I to find myself speaking out because I feel like people could be thinking the same thing but maybe a bit more shy to say something. Good job and keep up the good work.
