At work on the weekend, I had my first experience with a text phone and to say it was scary is an understatement!. It was hard work but my heart went out to the intermediary on the other end! her typing skills must be like 300 words a minute. I have to admit it tested my ability to communicate effectively to the max! but I am proud to say as a professional, the litigator in me kicked in and before long I was given them the facts about their accounts. It was still difficult because the conversation is prompted by 'go ahead'. For lack of wanting to sound slow, (trust me I am not, I be naija) it was difficult but I managed it.
I can not begin to imagine how people who require such services feel, i guess we have to be thankful for technology and the innovation it brings to make our lives easier. We really should not take things for granted at all... I remember a prayer from school:
some have food but can not eat, some can eat but have no food, we have food and we can eat......
be thankful....
