texting

Montana should think about enacting a statewide ban.

A Canadian farmer learned an $82,000 lesson after he was sued by a grain buyer for breach of contract. The case centered on the use of an emoji in a text message.

The people that have tried to run me over lately have been on the phone or textin' and not paying attention to the road and their surroundings.

Montana does not have a statewide ban on "Distracted Driving", although some cities do have restrictions specifically relating to cell phone usage while behind the wheel. For the states that do have distracted driving laws, one woman recently learned that drinking a cup of coffee while driving counts as "Inattentive Driving"...

As influential as Oprah Winfrey's "Don't Drive and Text" campaign has been over the years an important facet of the dangers of texting while in motion has been completely ignored...

Let’s face it, we’re living in an increasingly digital world. Even toddlers are walking around with Instagram on their smart phones. In theory this should make us the communication generation. But we’re not. Check out these great texting fails for proof!

It doesn't matter which way we spin it; breaking up stinks. (Unless, of course, you're the breaker-upper, in which case it's like a cause for celebration.) Either way, cutting the relationship cord has gotten a bit easier ever since text messaging hit the scene. As it turns out, break up texts can be hilarious.

Have you ever seen somebody share their phone number publicly (on Craigslist maybe, or one of those homemade ads for "computer lessons" on the subway) and thought to yourself "I should totally prank this guy"? You haven't? Oh, uh ... neither have we. Ever. Clearly -- we're not monsters. But the person behind Textastrophe is!

Being a teenager is a perilous time in one's life as a not-quite fully developed brain will cause the teen to make all kinds of questionable decisions. Now thanks to a new phenomenon called sleep-texting, the teenager can even make these bad decisions while they are catching z's.

I have to admit I do it too but I started to wonder if people who post lol in a text or on Facebook are really laughing out loud. I've enclosed a pic of a recent text conversation between a friend and I regarding my payment to him for being the runner-up in our flag football league...

Although it became a widely used form of communication only recently, texting is actually a decades-old technology. In fact, it celebrated its 20th birthday on Monday, which makes it older than most of the kids who use it. OMG!

It turns out Mark wasn't making any of this up. There really is a a national competition to determine who is the fastest "texter" in the United States. It's taken very seriously apparently, considering that there is a a $50,000 prize for the champion! The 2011 champion, Austin Weirschke, will be coming back to defend his title this year.
