Text and SMS messaging has become a phenomenon with teenagers and adults alike. These days, it’s impossible to walk through a public place without bumping into someone aimlessly typing on their phones, or to have a peaceful dinner without a beeping text notification. So the news that texting traffic nearly doubled in 2006 is not much of a surprise. The wireless data service scheme is now a $15.2 billion industry. Time speant talking on the phone is also up 20%. Say goodbye to human-to-human interaction. Yay! — Andrew Dobrow
