In a possible sign that the end-times are near, grade school students in the UK are said to be developing repetitive stress injuries from incessant texting. Gradeschooler Isabelle Taylor, who seems more fit for a textless Migo than the old-school Nokia she's toting, was diagnosed with tendiopathy after complaining of pain in her wrists and fingers. Sadly, little Isabelle took a cue from her hopelessly addicted BlackBerry-wielding elders: "I'm not going to stop. Me and all my friends talk to each other with texts, so I can't not text them." Her chiropractor says he sees "two cases a month" like Isabelle's, and stories of SMS RSI are nothing new -- but by golly, eight years old?[Via textually.org]
Why does dude look so happy?
Because he knows he's getting his picture in the paper.
Stories like this make me wish bad things for people.
Thats pretty funny. Why do kids find the need to be constantly texting? It wastes a lot of money and there are much better and quicker alternatives, for example, calling or IMing.
Texting is of the Devil!!
8 year olds dude. 8 year olds.
