I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but there are a lot of videos lately?
Like, so many.
And as someone whose first social media was text-based and not video-based, I don’t always want to intake information in video format.
I like text, most of the time.
But this video from comedian Josh Johnson got me thinking.
His question about texting as a specific ‘wedge’ issue, which are actions that drive a small wedge between people, made me pause.
If you’re in a text conversation, do you send one long text, or several short ones as you’re thinking of them?
I am a shorter messages person because a wall of text can be really difficult for me to absorb. But if I send too many short messages the conversation can become fragmented so that we’re responding to different parts and having about 3 or 4 different conversations in one place.
Which of course leads me to wonder, what else am I doing that inadvertently annoys people?
Am I overthinking this video? Yes, of course, I am. This is what I do. This whole site started with me overthinking about romance fiction.
What are your wedge issues? Do you send large messages or short ones in a burst?
Friday Videos hope you have a smooth and mellow weekend with no issues, wedged or otherwise!
