Allison Miller sends and receives 27,000 texts a month, carrying on multiple text conversations at a time.
Assuming that means she sends 27k/2 = 13,500 SMS per month, and she sleeps 8 hours a day, that means in a 30 day month (480 waking hours), she's sending 1 message every other minute while awake. 13,500/480 ~= 28.1 per hour.
I guess that counts as distraction.

- kmfrk 16y agoAt that point, the distraction seems to be real life.
- rkudeshi 16y agoI only send/receive about 500-1000 texts a month, but I noticed the vast majority are "alert-style" SMSes (e.g. Google Voice notifications, Twitter user subscriptions, etc.). Perhaps she does the same?
