Spurred(刺激) by the unlimited texting plans offered by carriers like AT&T Mobility and Verizon Wireless, American teenagers sent and received an average of 2,272 text messages per month, according to the Nielsen Company一almost 80 messages a day.
The phenomenon is beginning to worry physicians and psychologists. Dr. Martin Joffe, a pediatrician in Greenbrae,Calif.,recently surveyed students at two local high schools and said he found that many were routinely sending hundreds of texts every day.
The rise in texting is too recent to have produced any conclusive data on health effects. But Sherry Turkle, a psychologist who has studied texting among teenagers in the Boston area for three years,said it might be causing a shift in the way adolescents develop.
"Among the jobs of adolescence are to separate from your parents,and to find the peace and quiet to become the person you decide you want to be," she said. "Texting hits directly at both those jobs.”
Psychologists expect to see teenagers break free from their parents as they grow into autono- mous adults,Professor Turkle went on, " but if technology makes something like staying in touch very,very easy, that's harder to do;now you have adolescents who are texting their mothers 15 times a day,asking things like, * Should I get the red shoes or the blue shoes?'"
