More so in US where its expensive and both incoming and outgoing texts are charged.<br /><br />Even so, 5000 seems unimaginable to me.Ravihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01440015934989470536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15891023.post-55809689782214072112009-10-21T21:42:02.808+05:302009-10-21T21:42:02.808+05:30Usha, once in a while I send sms messages to my da...Usha, once in a while I send sms messages to my daughters in the same room, to get their attention.Rajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09367344161081393779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15891023.post-76958470681528781672009-10-21T09:49:35.261+05:302009-10-21T09:49:35.261+05:30I notice the same with my nieces whose fingers are...I notice the same with my nieces whose fingers are constantly punching messages even while making conversation with me.<br />But what I found funnier was that they didnt have much to say to each other face to face but the moment they are out of sight they start punching messages!!!Ushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179239922869639391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15891023.post-40479638115771599522009-10-19T10:25:07.357+05:302009-10-19T10:25:07.357+05:30Balaji,it's possible that alternate generation...Balaji,it's possible that alternate generations have more similarities. Grandpas tend to take the side of grandsons, rather than their sons,.<br /><br />About the 14 hours every month, I am surprised. I thought she spends all the time that she is awake, tinkering with her mobile. I expected it to be much more.Rajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09367344161081393779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15891023.post-9612425060227603092009-10-19T08:51:23.508+05:302009-10-19T08:51:23.508+05:30Raj - I think it is the folks between 40 - 50'...Raj - I think it is the folks between 40 - 50's who seem to have a problem adjusting. I was pleasantly surprised getting a sms message from my cousin sister( who is past 60 ) conveying her Diwali greetings. Ditto with my Periyappa who is past 80 ! Just yesterday, I dropped in to visit my friend's dad - his dad is past 80...and my friend lives in the US. His dad and mum were happily speaking to them in the US using skype. <br /><br />As for your daughter's 5000 msgs, assuming each message takes an average of 10 seconds to type / send...it translates to nearly 14 hours of punching keys a month ! I think you should share this statistic with her....Balaji...Balajisbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04959473707216957738noreply@blogger.com
