It is not yet noon and I can claim the day as a success. I have learned something new. I now know about “sexting”.
I have been reading Baurlein’s book “The dumbest generation”. The Twitter version might be – technology offers so many opportunities, but look how adolescents and their younger peers use it. I don’t think he knew about sexting (I keep misspelling this term) or it would have been included.
Sexting appears to be the practice of sending sexually explicit images to boyfriends, girlfrients, and others. Now, it appears that authorities are addressing the problem under obscenity laws. Have a cell phone with camera – evidently it is difficult to resist. See this Slate story.
