Text messages connect us to long-lost friends, sliding into someone’s DM’s could lead to a new relationship, and emails have the power to open up doors in our careers. We are now well into the digital age and can probably all agree that technology has changed the way we communicate. It’s bizarre to think about but today, a simple buzzing sound can be the bearer of news that can ultimately change our lives, for better or worse.
For me, it was when my dad went to the hospital for a check-up and texted me later saying, “Stage One.” Those two words were enough for me to know that he had cancer, and they shook me to the core.I’m sure others have experienced something similar, so we asked VICE readers: What’s the one message (Whether through DM, text, or email) that changed your life?
