Texting may be more serious then we know

  Texting May Be Taking a Toll By KATIE HAFNER, NYTIMES.com

I've recently read a article which is basically based on texting and I must say it was an interesting article to read. I think the main idea of this article however is that texting isn't always good for you and that you should take steps to maintain your texting to keep good grades in school and also keep up on getting a good nights rest.

 I think this is the main idea because in the article it states that too much texting will eventually lead to serious problems in your future that includes your health. A thumb disorder however would be one of the most main ones you will get however and it could be permanent or not it's been discussed a little in the article, Texting can also lead to less sleep at night and lack of sleep is never good for anyone, It can even lead to slipping grades eventually which obviously isn't very good either.

 However there are a few good things about texting as well according to this article, for example texting can keep you in a "Active Circle" with your friends, family, and others at the touch of a button or screen because of modern technology. Texting can also keep you close to your parents if you’re at a very far distance even though you probably might call them anyway but just incase you'd text and aren't able to see them for a good reason like College for example. You might text them for the most simple things like to check in on them and make sure everything is fine or for other reasons you may have to chat with them.

 My final example from the article is that if you're one that enjoys texting you can also check up on friends which brings me back to the "Active Circle" because you're keeping in touch with your friends which can also give you the ability to check up on homework you might have that's going to be due soon or the other way around. According to the article doctors and therapists worry about teens however the case may be because this subject of texting is still so new that there hasn't really been a lot of studies or tests about it so they don't know exactly how dangerous texting can be yet so until they get more information they're using a very close estimate to give readers a taste of what they're currently studying trying to get more information on.

In conclusion of what I’ve wrote this is a brief summary of the article I’ve read by Katie Hafner based on mainly the subject of texting and how it can be good.. but also bad for us.
