I started “Change the Channel” on August 25th and it ended on August 27th. I stopped texting some of my friends and family members and started calling them more while the rest of my friends and family I stared texting more. My experience was very interesting and some of the outcomes that occurred I didn’t really expect. I was so use to calling certain people and texting certain people that I feel like this experience affected my life in a good way. When my friends need help I am always the person they go to whether its homework, family issues, etc. and they would always text me. When I wasn’t responding to the text messages they kept texting me asking me was I there or if I am okay because I always respond instantly. I started calling them

When I tried to call them they wouldn’t pick up because they thought I was ignoring them but I told them that I didn’t feel like texting right now. When I asked them what was wrong they would respond saying well “If you had responded to my text you would have found out.” I told my family that I really didn’t care and that whatever they had to tell me they could tell me on the phone.

My dad hates cell phones and doesn’t really text much but when I texted him he actually replied back saying what he needed say. I usually text my mom but when I tried calling her she would not pick up. She would send me text messages saying I missed your call what you need instead of calling me back. I realized the people I texted more I really didn’t have long conversations with and most of the time I had to make sure everything was right before I sent the text. The people I called more seemed to appreciate me calling and we would have a whole conversation on the phone. The “Change Your Channel” showed me how much I really don’t like texting because it’s so much easier to say what I had to say over the phone and it showed me how many people appreciate a phone call over a text
