New Idea for Textophiles (it's a word, I made it up; I made it a word)

My dilemma continues: how to get hubby away from his new addiction of TEXTING.
Dear Lord in Heaven, it feels like my husband is a thirteen year old boy with Nintendo DS spasms that carry over into the texting world. He's lightning quick on the dang thing, I'll give him that. Way too many adventure games over the course of his life.
So -- I've been thinking of an invention to battle the texting thing I am living with.

What if:

Instead of typing, the machine worked with your voice, so that you could speak into it.

And whomever you are chatting with could respond right away. Sure, T9 is helpful sometimes, but how often have you tried to write "me" and ended up with "if?" Changes the whole context of your message. This way, you have no wasted seconds on tapping out messages. (Texting is a bit like Morse code, huh? I hadn't thought of that...)

And with a voice system, inflection and sarcasm could be heard, so there is no miscommunicating, which results in 18 more texts to clear up the confusion.

And instead of LOL, you could actually hear the other person actually laugh! Out loud!

OMG!

Wait a second...

*blink blink*

I think that might be the telephone.

Sweet! I just invented the telephone!!!
