The comments about obsessive Blackberry use, as well as Sean SMSing in class, reminded me of this NYTimes article I came across last night -- Text Generation Gap: U R 2 Old (JK). It suggests a generation gap in text-message use, and seems to imply that what adults might perceive as compulsive cellphone texting is just kids being kids.
Are they compulsively text messaging? Or are they compulsively keeping up with their friends (through the most available means?)

Sorry about the text in class. I normally don't do that, but it was in regards to a project I have coming up for another class. (It's that whole obligation to answer quickly thing we discussed.)
Not a problem. Text messaging is actually pretty unobtrusive compared to other things I've seen in different classes. ;)
