people who do not keep shabbos always revel at how i am able go 25 hours without being able to text, speak on the phone , watch tv or go veg out on the computer. i say how can i not have a 25 hour period each week with such restrictions? bring it on!! being restricted from the possibility of a 2 hour phone call is divine. im so hypnotized by my computer that its good to have at 25 hour weekly break from it. oh and i don't watch enough tv to miss it on shabbos. im not such a heavy texter so i don't even think about not being able to text on shabbos.
i feel sorry for heavy texters . for them its as addictive as smoking. they can barely go fifteen minutes without increasing the intensity of their carpal tunnel. they have to learn the art of face to face conversation . what a bummer.
i think that hashem knew what he was doing when he banned electronic devices on shabbos. he knew that we needed a weekly break from it all so we would actually have shabbos menucha.

this is so true... and then the worst thing is, for the kids who it's so bad, they say they can text on shabbos cuz its not like a phone call.. and some sort of reasoning like that..
wow.

Agree 100%. I used to rush to the computer right after Shabbat to check my email, but these days I feel so overloaded with electronic communications during the week, that I will often not even turn on my cellphone on Motzei Shabbat at all.
The worst texters are those kids who walk down the sidewalk texting without looking where they're going. Or that frum girl from Flatbush who ran over a deliveryman because she was texting while driving.
