Korean students sending 100 text messages per day
Our fingers tend to cramp up after we type about three words on our cellphone's keypad, so we've got to give at least some sort of props to Korea's teenagers, who, according to the Korea Times, are clearly the texting champs of the world. A recent study found that up to 35% of Korean students are sending over 100 text messages daily, inspired by the lower cost of texting compared to voice calls, and the fact that it's easier to discreetly send text messages in class than it is to talk. Despite the lower costs, almost half of the surveyed teens said they were having financial problems due to their text addiction. Maybe they can start kicking it old school and just pass notes back and forth in class.
