SENDING OR RECEIVING 500 TEXTS A DAY.
Assuming he sends half of those, that's fifteen per hour of waking. |

If he's on T-Mobile, 485 of those will be promotions or offers.
I don't see the issue. What's next? This just in: 99% of long-distance travel made using motorised vehicles. "I'm shocked," say the Amish. |

| So you send 15 texts an hour? What does a sixteen year old have to say that is that important? I send about ten texts a weekday and double or triple that on a weekend. I have an active social life which requires meeting people and often changing plans; a sixteen year old does not. |

I send about five texts a week and I don't have Facebook. My "who cares" stance was directed at anyone who was shocked or concerned by young people using technology so much. |

Yeah but when was the last time you sat down and enjoyed a really big . You know the kind that makes you feel glad to be alive? Like you've lost a stone in weight? Man, they are so satisfying. |
Pfft. I've been saying this for years. |

Remember the time they said television was bad for the kids?
I wonder what conservatives will be shocked about when I have children. I hope they come up with some sort of virtual reality plaza where people can hang out in space. I'm totally going to nick my kids' toys and streak on the moon! |

Fair enough. I'm not at all shocked by it, I just thought the five hundred texts bit was stupid. I got Facebook only about a month ago. I can't wait to delete it when I get back from backpacking. |

| I actually would believe it of some people I know. Only one ever two minutes, allowing 8 hours to sleep / shower / not text. |
