The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports today on parents learning to text-message their kids in order to keep track of their multi-tasking kids:
Experts say parents will have better luck keeping in touch if they learn to use some of the same tools employed by their offspring. This applies especially to texting, which has become the top choice for electronic communication among teens, according to a recent study by the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
Maybe if Jim Gibbons decides to leave politics consulting with out-of-touch parents could be the basis of his second career?
[D]ocuments detail a flurry of nearly daily, and in some cases hourly, exchanges between Gibbons and a cell phone owned by Kathy Karrasch, the estranged wife of a Reno doctor. Gibbons has been accused of being romantically involved with her... On one Friday, for example, Gibbons exchanged 160 text messages with Karrasch starting at 8:30 a.m. and ending at 11:45 p.m. On another night, Gibbons exchanged 91 messages between midnight and 2 a.m. with her.
