When people communicate via SMS it is no way near as instructive as an actualy face to face conversation. using the SMS 'text talk', some people may not understand what it is exactly you are saying, for example if you were to text your mum saying "b bk l8r", she might not understand you, where as if you were to ring her and say "il be back later" she would know exactly what you mean straight away. Although using SMS does save time when you are in a hurry, it allows you to shorten messages so you havnt got to write full sentences and lets you communicate in secret with your friends. if your having a private conversation with your friends and your dont want your parents knowing, if they look through your phone they wont know what the hell your going on about!
Also when using SMS you cannot stress yourself. if you say something and your being serious. you dont put across the tone of your voice or anything. people just read it as they would the news paper. e.g if your being sarcastic with someone becauseyour just having a joke about, They wont realise that you are and they could take in the wrong way and get upset. it is very easy to misunderstand someone in text talk. if you say one thing, but you mean to say it a certain way. the reciever may not understand.
E-mails have a lot of bad pointers to them similar to SMS texting. if you send someone a short email and you are very emotional. they wont understand how you feel, but if you were to phone someone and have a voice conversation, they could tell from your tone of voice how you feel and then they would be able to interpret things better and help you out.
Also if you were to send someone an email. they may not reply to it for weeks because some people do not check their inbox which could cause problems if you send somebody and important job to do. this is where voice communication would benefit you a lot.
