Two Wilkes psychology professors, Deborah Tindell and Robert Bohlander, circulated a survey that questioned respondents on their text messaging habits and attitudes toward texting in class among 269 students.
YOU DON'T SAY! Kids text in class? No fucking way dude I don't believe it! This is some really hard-hitting journalism here.
These professors do not live in real life. "Tindell decided to perform the study when she realized how unaware she was of the texting that occurred during her class." Either this article failed to report that she is also legally blind, or she just has shit for brains. Have they not noticed that people in the 18-22 year old demographic literally have their phones in their hands 25 hours a day, 7 days a week? And they're now shocked and awed to find out that 91% of them are texting during class. If you scroll down in the article they also go on to tell you that the sun goes down at night and that most people like music.
There are only three shocking things that you should take away from this article:
1. That Wilkes University paid two professors to find out that their students text in class
2. That the Huffington Post found the survey results to be worthy of publishing
3. (This one from the always-wise words of Special Ed...) "Who the fuck is the one out of ten that's not texting in class?" Amen brother.
On a side note, I was at one point in my life the lucky recipient of a "Wilkes Crew" t-shirt. How this came about I have NO idea. Now don't get me wrong, it was a nice little shirt. But, I do not know anyone that attends or attended Wilkes University. I do not know where the fuck Wilkes University is. The only thing I now know about them is that they commission the most pointless pieces of research of all time. If I'm ever wondering whether people like sun more than rain, I'll be sure to give these guys a call.
