BUSINESS INSIDER - Aug 26 - American kids under
18 send and receive roughly 2,800 texts per month, according to
Nielsen, or about 93 per day. Assuming 7 hours of sleep per night,
that's ~5.5 per hour spent awake, or one every 10 minutes or so. But
it's people ages 18-24 who talk the most on their cellphones, according
to Nielsen, averaging 981 minutes per month. And women talk 22% more per
month than men, on average, and send ~35% more SMS per month than men
do.

Mark Brooks:
SMS has continued to become more popular because there's minimal
advertising intrusion and maximal user attention via the SMS channel.

Wow, where do you find this stuff?
My son is too young to use a cell phone yet, and I kind of dread the day when he asks me to get him one. But maybe by the time he grows up there will be other kinds of "toys" in stead of cell phones. =)
