四、閱讀測驗Do you call your friend when you need to tell her something? Of course not! The fashionable and cheap thing to do is send her a text message. Punch the letter on your cell phone and your friend gets the message within seconds.With billions of text messages sent every day all over the world, text messaging has becomes an everyday means of communication for mobile phone users. Text messages are created by lots of short and repetitive key presses on a mobile phone key pad, and it is this motion which, if carried out very frequently and without considering potential repetitive strain on the joints, can lead to pain or discomfort in the thumb and fingers. With texting continuing to increase in popularity, there has been a significant growth in reported cases of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) occurring in the thumbs of texters. With many young people admitting to sending up to 20 texts per day and even some admitting to sending up to 100 texts every single day, it is unsurprising that we are using our thumbs more than ever and suffering from sore finger and wrist joints as a result. Teens may not take prevention seriously, but hand therapists believe in taking precautions now, like switching hands to type. That will stop people from messaging their doctors later.Then there is the life-threatening scenario of texting while walking on the street or driving. Accidents have occurred and some of them have been fatal. Believe it or not, there are countries where there is pending legislation prohibiting texting when you are in motion.
