My latest piece on Sex Really is about digital miscommunication. Some factoids:
- Recipients of sarcastic emails in one study could only identify the sarcasm 56 percent of the time (a rate that is essentially equivalent to taking a guess).
- One (non-scientific) poll found that 43 percent of teens use instant messaging to deal with awkward situations
- Tumblr’s Jess Chu wants to “cut the BS” from her love life by sending fewer “pointless unclear texts”
Thoughts? Comments? Share ‘em! (It’s been ages since I’ve had to date-and-text, but oh, the tales I could tell …)
