Trends on Tuesdays: Teens & Texting
Teens are notorious for texting. Here is some data to help back up those claims, from our friends at the Pew Internet and American Life project.
According to Pew data, three-quarters of teens NEVER make or recieve a call in school–contrasted with two-thirds who will text at least occasionally. More from Pew on teens and texting here.
Begs the question, how much longer will we call these mobile devices cell phones?
There must be way just to stop the phone from sending text maybe the network provider could put a block on during certain hours

Teens do text a lot but I think that cell phones and mobile devices are just as addictive for adults as well, how often do you see adults with their phones on the table or checking them every couple of minutes when they’re out of the office.

Great information! The only real solution to this problem is to ban all cell phone use in schools…
