"Safe Text"

Safe Text is a new service that was recently launched and it is very similar to normal text messaging, but has one major difference. When you send a "Safe Text" the system allows the test message to self-destruct as soon as it has been read. The creator, Ogilvy Advertising, says that “one day, everyone will have a facility like Safe Text.” This new system will open doors for celebrities and allow them to text freely to anyone and not have to worry about the media finding out. Wired magazine has created a promotional offer which will allow people to sign up and get 10 free anonymous messages each day. I text a lot and sometimes I prefer to keep some texts. I understand privacy is important, but do we really need this system. This new system can attract a lot of druggies and adulterers, since the texts self destruct after the first read. I understand this new system is meant for celebs and their social lives, but if you need this service why are you texting anyways? If the messages you receive are that scandalous, why not delete them yourself? In my opinion this is very lame.
