You're right on with this story -- people can go overboard with texting, but it can be used just to make life easier. That's why we don't send Fresno shoppers any messages (even after they've signed up) -- they have to text a request to the number to get a discount. It's totally free for shoppers. We don't bug people because we're trying to make lives easier -- and help Fresno save some money. Fresno shoppers getting discounts via text message. What will we think of next?!

What's even worse is when two people are in the same car passing text mssages and get into an accident (friends of mine). Secondary to the distraction factor ... even if you can tap by touch, the mental effort, no matter your acuity, is more than that of talking and driving ... people have been eating and driving for years, and they haven't outlawed that.
