This young man is trying to beat the guiness world record for text messaging. He has to type in the phrase in less than 43 seconds. Can he do it? Can you do it?

What about texting with your eyes closed like the blind man you watched last day. Text message yourself the following phrase without looking at your keypad.
"I am doing this blindly! What will it look like?"

Day 16 Blog

Some interesting Cell phone facts for your information, please read and comment.
Did you know that two cell phones operating on either side of an egg will cook the egg and the same thing is happening to your brain and eyes when it's up next to your head?
Did you know you can dial 911 on a Cell phone for emergency service even if the phone is locked or not in service?
Did you know that for around $100 (sometimes less, sometimes up to $440), anyone can buy a list of everyone you've called from your cell phone for the last month? Sometimes they can also get your incoming calls and call locations, too.
Did you know cell phones are actually a radio -- an extremely sophisticated radio, but a radio nonetheless?
Did you know that up to 60% of the radiation emitted by a typical cell phone, (enough to cause heating), will be absorbed by the user’s head?
Did you know that different brands and models of phones have widely different levels of radiation emissions?
Comment on some of these facts, believable or not?
