Dr. Clyde Lettsome Explains Why Using Text Messaging Makes No Economical Sense

Sept. 22, 2011 - PRLog -- After the recent earthquake that shook the northeastern U.S., emergency services Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) urged cell phone users contacting loved ones to text or email, rather than make voice calls. But, how does texting on a cell network differ from voice calling, and why is this particularly important after a disaster? Well, Dr. Clyde A. Lettsome, Ph.D., P.E., has written a new article is titled "Texting During and After a Disaster" http://clydelettsome.com/blog/2011/09/16/texting-after-a-disaster/.  In this article, he talks about why emailing would be his preferred choice of communicating rather than texting.

“As I mentioned in a prior article, consumers are not getting their money’s worth when they text”, said Dr. Lettsome. “If after a disaster you want to let your loved ones know that you are ok, it makes more economical sense to use email.”
