There’s a report that says teen texting has doubled during the last four years. It also says that there are more children who own their own cell phone and that the use of email and landline telephone has decreased slightly.  I have to wonder why people seem to feel that spending money on this type of research is necessary. I could have told texting among teens was increasing.  I see 10 year olds with cell phones who complain about their parents not having more texting on the family plan. Younger generations naturally gravitate to newer technology.  If they didn’t, we’d still be using sticks to make fire and drawing pictures on the wall. The fun part is to contemplate what the next big trend is? I see more and more technology starting to come out with video communication technology.  Who knows, in ten years, we might be able to talk to people on the coast by looking at our TV and saying, “On screen.”
