Congrats on another worthless link.

Really no need to read it as you have been proven completely wrong.

Proven? By whom and where? There was about 100 million texts in '01. That is 1 text for every 3 people in America over the course of a year. Last year there were 800 texts for every 3 people in America. That is 80000% increase.

So, again, how was I proven wrong?

Worthless link? You're the wikipedia king. Stings to get beat at your own game, doesn't it.

You just proved it yourself. If there is 1 text for every 3 people...that hardly qualifies as rare.

Learn english, then get back to me.

I already quoted...in 2000, 35 texts per month for the average user.

Nobody disputes that it is growing, only that it wasn't rare.

Time to man up.

1 text for every 3 people in a country over an entire year?!? That is .0009 texts per person per day compared to .73 texts per person per day today.

What is the source of you 35 texts per month? I find that very hard to believe.

In a related note, what did you think about Shaq finding out that he got traded through NBA fans on Twitter?

Sigh. That doesn't make it rare. 100 million..yes, that i rare.

P.S. Nice use of poor logic. Considering that you are now increasing the sample size...instead of talking about phone users.

By that logic, the iphone is practically extinct. But, you wouldn't argue that would you.

Strawman: Nobody is talking about the increase.

[SnakeLH2006]

Sigh....

Not to get caught up in this..but Snake feels sorry for getting this topic going for laughing at Partial about text getting going in 2006, when I used to text in the late 90's....and prob. about as much today. Not much.

Snake's Summarizing Take:

Partial: Text is rare as hell before 2006. Maybe they (Snake, many of his buds had the tech back then) did have it though back in the late 90's. You are all stupid haxors. My phone l33t FTW suxorz!
Ty: Sigh....Just because peeps send tons more texts per user, doesn't mean the tech wasn't there and peeps didn't use it, albeit no where near as often as current. Sigh.
Snake: Sigh. I agree with Ty. The tech was there, just more peeps use it now. Is logic that hard P?

100 million texts in a year is extremely rare given their are 3 million people in the world and 130ish characters isn't very many to deliver a message.

I don't know why you're still arguing. I've posted crystal clear evidence, but you can't admit that you're wrong

[Partial]

Christ, nobody said people didn't text. I have been texting since what 2002? It is rare compared to now. Extremely rare. Wow. Use your heads. Look at the numbers. Less than 1% of what it is now.

I'm pretty sure this "fact" isn't accurate. Do I need a source?

1 out of 3 people isn't rare.

.33 text messages per person. Now, there is 266.7 texts sent per person. Pretty rare compared to what it is now within society. Pretty tough to dispute something

Only you are comparing today to then. Strawman.

False argument again, you have to compare number of texts sent by the number of phones in use.

Either way...you don't understand english.

Iphones are extremely rare. Prolly at best 25 million sold in U.S. That is 1/12 iphone per person.

You really don't get what i'm doing.
