Texting is a simple, cheap way to stay in touch with classmates and friends. It is also less intimidating than talking. However, texting can result in many problems. For example, access to texts at night disrupts sleeping. In addition, constant texting can cause hand injuries, particularly to the thumbs. Furthermore, texting during class time causes students to lose concentration and stop listening to the teacher. Moreover, the ease of texting leads to students being unable to make their decisions, thereby making them less independent. Finally, as texting uses abbreviations, this can lead to poor development of spelling.
