Also, amusing reader comment from the article, highlighting an interviewee's remark: "the average high schooler has texted 1200 times from the time they get out of bed to when they hit school at 7:30 in the morning."
I imagine this figure off by only a single order of magnitude.
- yellowbkpk 16y agoMy college-aged sister consistently sends 10-20,000 text messages a month over the last year or so. I know because my mother insists on receiving the paper AT&T bill and AT&T insists on listing each send/receive on a separate line of a sheet of paper.
- icegreentea 16y agoThat's still 700 per day on the high end. 1200 in the few hours between waking up and getting to school is ridiculous. If it took 2 hours, you would be sending 10 txts every minute, or one every 6 seconds. Unless the majority of these txts were 'lols' and 'kkz', then you -would not be able to do anything else-. In fact, you would have seen a complete epidemic of kids getting hit by cars while walking to school. Also, does anyone know if they count messages that get split up as one message, or multiple?
