I also have a sweet little girl who can’t text yet but is really good – for a 2-year-old, mind you – at just about any alphabet game on the iPhone. I don’t have a teen but I do have a 6-year-old who enjoys texting whenever he can get his parents’ phones. My friends would say, “Why text when you can simply call?” And I’d reply, “Just wait until 2014 and you’ll understand.” I sometimes brag to my wife that I was texting before texting was cool, way back in the previous millennia. I’m not a teen, but I do text, Tweet and all that other social media stuff. And that’s not even counting Tweets, Facebook posts and instant messages. The average teenager sends about 2,000 messages a month – and receives another 2,000.
