Do you text message more than you call?

A friend of mine recently commented, "I think I text more people than I call people." He says he texts around 150 times daily. Wow, I thought. He must have unlimited texting. And too much time on his hands. Then I got thinking about my own text-message habits. There are some people I text before I call, but mainly to relay quick info such as, "Check out comedy tonight?" Perhaps we don't need to enter lengthy conversation when we just want a yes/no answer. Thing is, if text messaging is replacing conversations, what does this say about us? Maybe nothing. Maybe that communication systems are changing rapidly and our social skills might get rusty if all we're doing is LOLing each other's latest joke. I've always liked the idea of texting to meet up in person, and then let the real face-to-face conversation happen. Texting acts as an effective (and usually inexpensive) link to a live conversation, even if, on the surface, it feels cold. What do you think?
