Of these I think Reid and Reid

is the one which interests me most. The different attitudes of those who
prefer to text to those who prefer talk are explored. Some are a bit obvious
but it opens up a very interesting field of non-trivial study in this area.
The extent to which texting and Yahoo/MSN/ICQ messaging has replaced and
complemented the face to face discourse of pupils in Secondary School in the
UK is phenomenal.
There is also an issue raised in discussion between teachers of bullying
using text and some research on this would be interesting and useful.
