1. Breaking up with boyfriend/girlfriend
Talking to them in person because it's immature to break up with somebody over email/text

2. Asking parents' permission if you think they'll say no
Talking to them in person because they'll respect you more if you asked them in person instead of over text and most likely be reasonable with you.

3. Plan a movie
Texting so that you can look back at the date and time and location if you forgot for some reason.

4. Gossip about somebody who can hear you
Texting so they can't see your texts

5. Gossip about someone not around you
In person because they aren't there

6. Getting help on homework
Texting or a phone call so that if texting doesn't help, they can explain it to you over the phone.

7. Feedback on what to get
Myspace/Facebook so that all of your friends can see it and post feedback

8. Announce you met someone famous
Myspace/Facebook so I can rub it in

9. Complain about your parents
In person so they can't read my texts or look at my Facebook messages

10. Mourn somebody you lost
Talking in person because it helps more than texting

11. Buy something from somebody you don't know well
In person so I can tell if they're acting suspicious or not


1. How would life be different if you could only communicate 1 on 1 instead of with
multiple people at once? It would make it difficult to plan things since you can only talk 1 on 1 instead of all at once planning things out.

2. How would life be different if you could only communicate in person? It would make life much more difficult because if you had an emergency, then the person you may need wouldn't be there at that moment.
