American Teens Say Texting is Favorite Way to Communicate
ChaCha, (http://www.chacha.com/ ) the free service that delivers answers to over a half a billion questions, periodically polls its users to see what's on their minds.
Last week, using its SMS text-messaging service, ChaCha asked nearly 1500 teen and young adult users: "What's your favorite way to communicate?" Their answers showed over two thirds of the time their preference was to text.
This data from a user group community of teens using cell phones is correlated by the findings by Pew Research Center (see http://www.pewinternet.org/Reports/2009/14--Teens-and-Mobile-Phones-Data-Memo.aspx )

American safety advocates, concerned about the dangers of texting while driving, have enjoyed a boost from an unlikely source: the chief constable of Gwent, a small county in southeast Wales.
The Gwent Police Department produced a film on the subject to be shown in Welsh schools this fall. And with zero promotion by the police, a gory, explicit four-minute excerpt from the film went viral and has been viewed more than four million times on YouTube and other sites.
