CBS 42 reports on texting and teens

The New York Times did what big media does best: stir up a lot of hoohah over teens and something trendy. Though texting ain’t exactly trendy anymore.

In “Texting May Be Taking a Toll,” the reporter talks with various experts (doctors, therapists, professors) about just how much teens text, and how it may affect them negatively.

Which leads to today’s report on CBS 42.

Bless reporter Rick Jackson, who came by before class today to do a quick interview. Actually, the report is unintentionally hilarious. (You can click through to read the story and click on the video in the upper right.)

“They can overdose on television, they can overdose on being online, they can overdose on texting, and personally, I don’t think it’s healthy,” Kwon says.

Boo! (Scared?)

I’m not sure we’re quite at panic mode yet, but if I helped contribute to the panic, you’re welcome.
