Average Briton in lifetime will text more words than Shakespeare wrote
LONDON, Aug. 6 () -- The average person in Britain will text almost 2 million words in their lifetime, more than twice the complete works of Shakespeare, a study indicates.A survey commissioned by NetVoucherCodes.co.uk asked 550 people in their 20s for the average number of words from their last 10 text messages as well as the average number of texts they had sent per day over the last month, The Daily Telegraph reported Tuesday.The typical text consisted of 19.7 words, while the text-per-day frequency averaged 4.2, a pace that would add up to 30,200 words a year, the survey found.If the survey participants started texting in their teens and if they text at a consistent rate until the age of 80,[url=http://www.ewwealth.com/]christian louboutin outlet[/url], they will end up texting a total of 1,993,200 words in a lifetime."The current 20-30 age bracket are the first generation to have grown up with mobile phones and most likely will be using them well into their old age," a NetVoucherCodes.co.uk spokesperson said."It's staggering to think that we will text almost 2 million words over the course of our lifetime -- this will probably increase for each subsequent generation as they become more reliant on instantaneous communication," the spokesperson said.An earlier study found the average person in Britain spends 2 hours a day on their mobile phone.
