Text messaging not just for teens, says Pew research
If you though text messaging was just for Justin Bieber-loving tweens, you’re wrong, as a new survey from Pew Internet says that 72% of adults also routinely send text messages.
This shouldn’t be much of a surprise, as we know text messaging has been increasing at stunning rate, but the Pew survey does have a few interesting tidbits that I’d like to share with you fine readers.
The report said that the adult text messaging figure rose from 65% in September of 2009, with an average of 10 SMS a day. The teens still crank out SMS – 87% of teens use text and they average 50 text messages a day. It’s no wonder carriers keep cranking out quick messaging phones.
