Assuming she is awake 16 hours a day and sleeps 8 hours a day, this equates to one text every 3 minutes for 16 hours straight.
That is unbelievable and borders on addiction!

The marketing drive to sell something as "new and different" when it's really just some repackaging and new paint, is truly mind-boggling.

Texting can be very useful. It's not a substitute for email or voice calls, but it has it's place. Also, as mentioned by others, a text can often get through when signal is marginal, while a call will not connect or will continually drop. I used to tell my kids that texting was low tech, like sending a telegram...

The list goes on. You can be opposed to something, and never have done it. Not necessarily a bad thing.
