In Hilary Lips' book (2008), she examined and showed the differences in every aspect of life with the genders. Be it characteristics, biological perspective or as simple as using toys or playing with them. Therefore, there will be difference between genders within text messages. One genre will use it more, write different messages, or even rely on it more often than others. The purpose of this study is to determine gender differences in text messaging. To succeed in this, we conducted surveys across gender and age group differences. Our results indicated that genders have differences in text messaging as well as similarities. Both males and females use it, and text messaging as a last resort, but males text less than females, males find it better to communicate via text messaging than females, females tend to get their first cell phone at an earlier age than males and owned more cell phones than men.

Mitch Vaterlaus (2013) imply that cell phones have been one of the most pervasive technological influences over the past two decades (p. 1). They also mention that mobile technology has quickly become an essential communication tool (Morril, Jones, & Vaterlaus, 2013, p. 1). One of the most popular and general cell phone features used in the world today is text messaging, rather than calling. Both genders tend to use this feature on their cell phones, especially the younger generations. Texting has grown over the years and has many uses that are popular across genders. According to the article by Rebecca Grinter and Margery Eldridge (2003), they define text messaging as using a cell phone to send a message, the act of composing and sending… in the midst of a sheet of paper... simply read "Merry Christmas".
