is texting hazardous to my health?!

Do you agree with this article? I can't tell you how thankful I am to have an iPhone right now. (and apparently my thumbs should be thanking me too.) This is my favorite excerpt:

Texting may also be taking a toll on teenagers’ thumbs. Annie Wagner, 15, a ninth-grade honor student in Bethesda, Md., used to text on her tiny LG phone as fast as she typed on a regular keyboard. A few months ago, she noticed a painful cramping in her thumbs. (Lately, she has been using the iPhone she got for her 15th birthday, and she says texting is slower and less painful.)
