            In the article Texting May Be Taking A Toll written by Katie Hafner it shows how texting isn’t very good for you at all studies are showing that too much texting can cause temporary damage to the thumbs, and also that texting can cause grades to drop in school rapidly. They are also saying that if the children will never break free from the parents if they are always texting asking how to do things the children will never grow up and become independent.

            Peter W. Johnson, a professor of environmental and occupational health sciences at the University of Washington was telling how too much computer use can be bad for you because of typing and they are saying like the same thing for texting too much of it can cause thumb problems temporary or permanent damage.

            Physicians and psychologist say texting is leading to distraction in school and falling of grades. They say it’s hard to focus on school work when you’re in to your books and you get a text message it takes away your focus on the school work or homework which will usually cause dropping grades because you don’t know anything because you’re not paying attention.

            In my opinion I think most of these things are true text messaging is a distraction and it probably will cause your thumbs to hurt if you do it too much, but the thing about the distraction is if you really want to do your school work you’re going to get it done you will put your phone away and do it.

            Most people who have cell phones in my opinion don’t do their work because they don’t want to not because they are being distracted. When I get text messages I usually am not doing my homework anyway I just do it in the morning so that’s why my opinion is probably different from some or most people.
