Texting is a disruption - to the professor if he/she notices it, and to those around you. You may think it is not, and it may be that those around you 1.) think it isn't or 2.) won't say anything. I've known students to complain about a fellow student - but it shouldn't come to that. At any rate, just that fact that it COULD be a disruption should be reason enough not to do it for the hour - hour and a half of your class. Yes , it's "just college", but to some students, college is important, classes are an opportunity to learn, and what the professor is saying is worthy of attention. For example, run-on sentences are not good.
