No text .. instead just talk .. We are spending more time on mobile phones . even 2 friends sitting aside are not talking to each other in person. instead they are using mobile phones for communication. Here the goal is we need to spend time with our loved ones not by sharing pics saying hi hello in mobile . instead we can talk to each other so that we can know the feel and the emotion on our talks. So its NO text just talk.. NTJT
