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.

SMS has continued to become more popular because there's minimal
