Sunday's Washington Post ran an interesting story about a Disney survey of cell-phone usage (including SMS text messaging) among the 10 - 17 age group. There are no details about the methodology of the survey, but no matter, as there are all sorts of interesting findings within:

• The poll of more than 1,500 teens and preteens found that 44 percent use text messages as their primary form of communication.
• More than half -- 52 percent -- say they send text messages from a movie theater while 28 percent have sent messages from the dinner table.
• For many -- 26 percent -- texting is one of the first things they do in the morning, within 10 minutes of waking up.
• One-third of the respondents said they would rather give up the radio, video games or a trip to the mall before giving up their phones.

The future for text messaging looks good.
