That means a lot of people in their late 20's and 30's do (I am in my late 20's). Even middle aged people, my 50 year old father does (probably because he had to if he wanted to keep up with me and my bro).

Those who do don't need to "get a life" they actually have a more active social life than you standing in line behind them, in silence, disconnected from your friends and family. Texting while your wating in line is called multi-tasking, just standing there like a loser is called being inefficient... no wonder you people are being replaced by people my age.

Its the digital divide, either you are able to adapt to better more efficient technology, or you are unwilling. The unwilling will be forced to learn or eventually die off.

So get with it.]]>Sep 23rd 2008 11:33AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/09/23/texting-trumps-talking-on-cell-phones-study-finds/http://www.switched.com/2008/09/23/texting-trumps-talking-on-cell-phones-study-finds/]]>Sep 23rd 2008 11:18AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/09/23/texting-trumps-talking-on-cell-phones-study-finds/http://www.switched.com/2008/09/23/texting-trumps-talking-on-cell-phones-study-finds/
Secondly, in Europe and Asia, text messaging is averaging 1,500 to 3,000 text messages a month, America is actually behind at 357 as quoted in the article. No wonder productivity is going down. We will be in a world wide depression if this keeps up.]]>Sep 23rd 2008 12:11PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/09/23/texting-trumps-talking-on-cell-phones-study-finds/http://www.switched.com/2008/09/23/texting-trumps-talking-on-cell-phones-study-finds/Sep 23rd 2008 12:15PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/09/23/texting-trumps-talking-on-cell-phones-study-finds/http://www.switched.com/2008/09/23/texting-trumps-talking-on-cell-phones-study-finds/I'm crazy.

Form a cogent statement if you want to be taken seriously in your replies. ]]>Sep 23rd 2008 1:19PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/09/23/texting-trumps-talking-on-cell-phones-study-finds/http://www.switched.com/2008/09/23/texting-trumps-talking-on-cell-phones-study-finds/
In a 2 minute call I can get a dozen questions answered... but it would take 2 dozen texts - question then reply - to do that.

And what if I talked for a half hour?

Still, it shows lots of people are sending those 24 texts instead of that one phone call. That's the thing about statistics, you have to take into account how they gathered the data.]]>Sep 23rd 2008 12:34PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/09/23/texting-trumps-talking-on-cell-phones-study-finds/http://www.switched.com/2008/09/23/texting-trumps-talking-on-cell-phones-study-finds/Sep 23rd 2008 12:38PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/09/23/texting-trumps-talking-on-cell-phones-study-finds/http://www.switched.com/2008/09/23/texting-trumps-talking-on-cell-phones-study-finds/
Texting, and texting while operating a vehicle with the power cause destruction ARE TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ISSUES!

I agree people who text while driving should face more serious legal consequences. But so should people eating their breakfast while driving, getting head from the g/f while driving, and women putting make up on while driving... but that aint happening.]]>Sep 23rd 2008 1:14PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/09/23/texting-trumps-talking-on-cell-phones-study-finds/http://www.switched.com/2008/09/23/texting-trumps-talking-on-cell-phones-study-finds/Sep 23rd 2008 1:25PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/09/23/texting-trumps-talking-on-cell-phones-study-finds/http://www.switched.com/2008/09/23/texting-trumps-talking-on-cell-phones-study-finds/Sep 23rd 2008 1:53PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/09/23/texting-trumps-talking-on-cell-phones-study-finds/http://www.switched.com/2008/09/23/texting-trumps-talking-on-cell-phones-study-finds/It is my opinion that those who text the most are the ones who should be putting the money in the bank.]]>Sep 23rd 2008 1:52PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/09/23/texting-trumps-talking-on-cell-phones-study-finds/http://www.switched.com/2008/09/23/texting-trumps-talking-on-cell-phones-study-finds/Those who do don't need to "get a life" they actually have a more active social life than you standing in line behind them, in silence, disconnected from your friends and family.

Jules, your comments, like many of those constantly on cell phone and texting is simply RUDE!!!
I talk on my cell and have since the mid '90's...and I text, but I have the decency to respect others around me. Texting is great if you want to just let someone know something quick and don't want to get involved in a long conversation. Assuming that you have more of a social life than the person standing behind you in line because they aren't on a cell phone is crazy! The truth is that so many people today rely on electronics to deal with others that they don't know how to deal with "real" people anymore. As an employer I have had to deal with people not doing their work because they are too busy "socializing". There is nothing more agravating than trying to hold a conversation or give instructions to someone when you are constantly interrupted by texts or calls. I'm in my 50's and very technically savy...but to you I say...GROW UP!
