Sadly the people who most need to see this will be too busy texting.
The “Average” is 50 sent/received per day?? I sent 4 and received 3 this WEEK. Someone out the must have the worlds worst case of RSI to get the average up that much…

If the average is 50 per day, and there are approx 7 billion active mobiles in the world (as at mid 2014), then the graphic should read 127.75 trillion per annum..
(one hundred twenty-seven trillion, seven hundred fifty billion)
I read books. People have been reading books for centuries.
The points about poor posture leading to neck pain and bad breathing would be identical.
When I was a student, I wrote with a pen for extended periods, with the “claw” effect mentioned.
So the kicker is: is there anything new here? I kind of doubt it.
Take that common sense elsewhere, pal.
