Help! I Can't Stop Texting: The Hidden Dangers of Text Messaging, (Paperback)

DO NOT TEXT Message too much. Why? A psychologist at a College in London studied 1,000 adults and concluded that heavy text messaging and emailing caused impaired mental abilities even more than smoking marijuana. The psychologist alleged that the reduction was equivalent to 10 IQ points, and referred to the obsessions as "info mania." YOU CAN set time limits for yourself; turn your phone off during certain times of the day. Give yourself specific times to check and/or reply to your messages, and set alarms for yourself. Once the author determined that she needed to learn as much as possible about text messaging, she spent many hours, days, and weeks researching information about it. She found some wonderful web sites that not only offered great and unusual information about text messaging, but were also just good web sites to visit. When she went into bookstores looking for books that focused on text messaging injuries and accidents, she found none. She and a friend decided that it would be nice if people knew where to find all of the information that she had researched in one place. Help! I Can't Stop Texting: The Hidden Dangers of Text Messaging is the resulting booklet. If the information in this booklet helps to save the life of just one person, then the mission of this booklet will be complete.
