ATLANTA -
It is something millions of Americans do everyday without a second thought, but there was a time just a generation ago where you couldn't pick up a cell phone and send a text message to your friend.
Well, 20 years later and millions of Americans have very strong thumbs from the amount of text messages sent. Many source actually put the text message the most used method of communication.
The first text messages using Short Message Service, or SMS for short, were sent December 3, 1992. According to a BBC article marking the 10 year anniversary, the first modern text message was "MERRY CHRISTMAS" sent between colleagues at Vodafone.
It took about seven years for the general public to really get their hands on the technology and it make their own, but we eventually did. And we made it our own, completely changing our culture forever 160 character message at a time... for better or worse.
But thankfully, it also changed our humor (or is that our LOL?) thanks to a little innovation called auto correct. There are a plethora of sites out there dedicated to auto correct making humorous, if not wildly inappropriate slip ups in the way we communicate with each other.
So, on this birthday of the text message, we want to know what your favorite auto correct moments are between you and a friend. Give us your answer at facebook.com/FOX5Atlanta.
