Texting, Can’t Hear You Now
“Half of teens send 50 or more text messages a day, or 1,500 texts a month… Older teen girls ages 14-17 [are] averaging 100 messages a day,” according to this report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
Many teens in the study used text messaging for chatting with peers and saved voice communication for calls with their parents.
