Texting May Be Taking a Toll

Report: American teenagers sent and received an average of 2,272 text messages per month in the fourth quarter of 2008, according to the Nielsen Company — almost 80 messages a day, more than double the average of a year earlier.

Still, American teens are way behind Asian teenagers. Texting affects communication, relationships, and culture dramatically. What are the long-term impacts of the texting age?

I am also amazed at how much texting goes on during church. It has definitely taken the place of passing notes down the rows.
