texting madness

a couple of articles about how much teens are texting these days
talks about how around a third of u.s. teens text over 100 times a day:

and article about the pew survey itself with some graphs

i don't know if it's bad necessarily (except perhaps for the bill their parents have to pay) but it definitely seems ridiculous to be texting 100 times a day. i guess some fear this texting madness could come to inhibit social skills. i think that rather than inhibiting social skills the more likely result will be a change in social interaction. so, perhaps, by the standards of today these **** social skills will be low, but by the standards they will institute as they come into their own they will fit right in.
