Too Much Texting Is Not the Cause of Dumbness 0
Dumbness is the cause of too much texting.
It never fails. When something new comes along and catches the attention of the Younger Generation ™, armchair shrinks appear with papers and telly vision interviews (before that, it was Marconi’s Magic Box; before that, Chatauquas; before that, drums) claiming that “It (whatever it is) is ruining our youth. Gasp. Horrors. (Book contract?)”
The phenomenon is beginning to worry physicians and psychologists, who say it is leading to anxiety, distraction in school, falling grades, repetitive stress injury and sleep deprivation.
Frankly, the kids who suffer from anxiety, distraction in school, falling grades, repetitive stress injury and sleep deprivation would find some way to do so if cell phones and text messages did not exist.
I did.
