At my age texting while walking would be deadly,let alone driving.
I prefer to stay with the 28% who is not texting.
My phone is for phone calls only - no text (it's actually blocked), no internet, etc...just a phone.
Im with you 10:37. I use it to talk only.
I do text, but only my wife, and usually about shopping lists so I don't forget something at the store - I think as a society, we are loosing our 'face time', and our young people are paying for this as they don't have the necessary interaction skills to make it in a world that requires interaction.
