Other trends shown by the study included a significant increase in teens using smartphones, and a jump in the number of texts sent by black teenagers. Parents, maybe its time to adjust your phone plans: bring the minutes down and the monthly texts way, way up.
Crazy statistic, man. We're living in strange times, that's for sure. Imagine if you practiced writing like this 60 times a day: "plz! r u srly gun make me wt?" No wonder young people are illiterate. There are a few (newb) examples here at the RVF that have raised my eyebrows too.
I upped my text plan to the unlimited a few months ago and rarely use more than 25 percent of my total minutes per month. I'm part of the problem, I guess. But as they say: adapt or die.
