      Adult texting is on the rise but doesn't compare to teen use. It would be very interesting to find out why Blacks and Hispanics use their cell more than White teens.

      This would be an interesting project and not too difficult to find more info.  The PEW research site is invaluable for information about internet and cell use.
  • African American and Hispanic cell phone users are more intense and frequent users of all of the phone's capabilities than whites. Minorities send more text messages and make more calls on average than their white counterparts.

  • The average adult cell phone owner makes and receives around five voice calls a day. Women tend to make slightly fewer calls with their cell phones than men -- while 53% of women make and receive five calls or fewer per day, 43% of men say the same. Men are a bit more likely to make slightly more phone calls in a day; 26% of men send and receive six to 10 calls a day, while 20% of women exchange that many calls. Men and women are equally likely to be represented at the extreme high end of callers, with 8% of men and 6% of women making and taking more than 30 calls a day.

    I was looking up anger management when i found this article. Strange, I find that most of this describes an average human being in this era. For example, anger management problem is described as anger for no reason. I looked this morning at my dad who get angry just because the t.v. wasn't turning on. Its funny that i think of it but its true. I promise that most of you get angry for little things like that and it happens often. I think people now a days are much more impatient and the anger level is rising to the point where you can get angry for no reason. So if its not anger management what would this problem be?

    This is a blog and unless you have many other credible sites, it is not recommended. The sticky note is supposed to resume why the article is pertinent and not provide personal anecdotes.

      This web page shows a study where a survey that is being orchastrated every 2 years has been reviewed again only to see a rise in teenagers that lie, cheat and steal to get anything and everything that they want. This study also compares present results to past results.
  • And they lie even more than they steal. Forty-two percent say they have lied to save money (compared with 39 percent in 2006), and 83 percent said they lied to their parents about something significant.
  • The institute conducted a random survey of 29,760 high school students earlier this year (as they have every two years since 1992) and found that the next generation of leaders have a somewhat casual relationship with the truth.

  • Ninety-three percent said they were “satisfied with their personal ethics and character.” And 26 percent said they lied on at least one or two questions on the survey about lying.

    Where are the highlights? This site is not the most credible. It's ok to have a newspaper if you have many other credible sites.
