Why don't you text me back?

You know sometimes I get so upset. I would send a text to a friend and then just not hear back from them - how rude!! Right?! Wrong - it serves me right, because I do the exact same thing, so why do I get so upset, it's just coming back to me what I do to them.
Every time this happens, I feel like they might not like me anymore or would rather ignore me than talk to me. Then I look at the reason I don't text back sometimes for days ; it is in fact not that I don't want to talk to them or hate them, it's pure laziness. I am a bloody lazy friend - no wonder I can count them on my ten fingers and then still have a few left over. I suck as a friend.
But this laziness, is this the reason my friends don't text back?

Then another thing; are we as a society becoming so lazy that we would rather text than phone one another and have real conversations? If I really wanted to talk to my friends, shouldn't I just pick up the phone and dial their number?
This scares me, we are falling into a digital world, an electronic funk and social networking is taking over being social - the bar discussions, the kitchen chatter, the debates around the braai. We are losing the ability to talk to people standing right in front of us, we would rather look at our computer and cellphone screens than strike up a random conversation.

i think my 'why don't you text me back?' question has been answered. JUST PHONE A FRIEND!
