In "Texting May Be Taking a Toll" by Katie Hafner she says that texting is taking a toll on teens. She points out that teens are texting very much and it may not be good for them. Almost all of the professors think that texting could be very bad.
This article includes quotes from teen texters. It includes a stat that states that the average messages for teens per month is 2,272. This is shocking and surprising to me , I would never had believed that if somebody told me this on the street. This shows that texting might actually be addicting and hard for people to stop.
I think that this is a thing that will not stop anytime soon. I can't think of a way that it could be stopped unless parents take the phones. That would be a terrible thing to do because they might have an emergency and no way to contact anyone. But it still is a good article and a great way to inform readers of texting and the worries that come with it.
This article made me wonder about plenty of things. It made me worry about how much of my classmates text too much. I could try to find the answers from asking my classmates about how much they text and how often. I also want to know how their parents feel about their number of texts. This made me wonder about a lot of things but these are the most important.
Good post, but I think your summary could be a bit longer, including some of the reasons why doctors are so concerned about this issue. Also, how often do you text? 85
