The Text on Text Messages

Technolog - 18-24 crowd exchanges 3,200-plus texts a month: "Cellphone users between ages of 18 and 24 send and receive an average of 109.5 text messages on a "normal" day, or more than 3,200 texts a month, according to a new report.
And a small number of them — 12 percent — say they do almost double that kind of texting traffic, exchanging more than 200 messages on an average day, or 6,000 a month, according to the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project report, "Americans and Text Messaging," released Monday.
Another 23 percent say they send or receive more than 100 texts a day. In contrast, among all American cellphone owners, users exchange an average of 41.5 messages on a typical day, with the "median user sending or receiving 10 texts daily."
Those who are deep into text messaging also prefer getting a text over a phone call as a way to communicate."
