Polished transcript:

Male Female

Personally, I'm not particularly enthusiastic about texting. Although I acknowledge the benefits of features like sending pictures, videos, or even memes, I don't like investing excessive time in texting with various people. Instead, I prefer having face-to-face interaction with many other people and gaining insight from them that you simply can't get from conversing over a screen. However, I recognize that in some cases texting proves to be a more viable option.
