Don't like texting (Chinese translation)

Thumb down (key) to send text messages.

do you have a cell phone? Do you exchange text messages with your friends and family?

Texting is becoming more and more popular. However, scientists have found that texting can bring trouble to our hands. Watch out! Too much editing of short messages will cause thumb swelling. Our thumbs are not used to press small buttons again and again. Scientists call this problem RSI. We talked with a doctor named Harriet Wilson (she has treated many RSI patients). We need to see how much time we spend editing text messages, she said. If we spend more than 10 to 15 minutes, then we may have problems in the future.

With the development of mobile phones, the buttons of mobile phones are getting tighter and smaller. Editing short messages with a small mobile phone is worse than using a big mobile phone with big buttons. Playing computer games with computer keyboards can also cause the same problem. So more and more people find themselves suffering from RSI. Most of them are college students and teenagers, because they don't know the harm of using computers, playing computer games and mobile phones for a long time. If we don't do something about this problem, too many young people will grow up in this pain.
