Cell Phone Responce

I think that there is some truth in saying, that our generation is truly based on texting each other and not having an actual conversation with the other person, but i don't think that it limits us socially. I was reading TIME magazine and it said something like 40% of people use texting to tell someone something that they would not normally say face-to-face.!? So is texting really limiting us, or allowing us to express an opinion/feeling to someone we would normally not?
