Apparently, Americans now send and receive more text messages per month than they make or receive phone calls.  See here.  (Of course, more information is likely transmitted per phone call than per text message, but the headline is nevertheless interesting.)

Imagine what technology holds in store for us: Someday, we'll be able to think about the text message we'd like to send without having to type it in.  Then, text-to-speech converters will turn that text into speech that sound like our actual voices.  Eventually, the whole process will be interactive, so that we can think about our messages, the other party will hear them, and then we can repeat the process interactively. 

Amazing!  Alexander Graham Bell would remain right-side-up in his grave!
