Thumbs Down to Texting 屈指发短信
Do you have a mobile phone? Do you send text messages to your friends and family?
Text messaging or "texting" is becoming very popular. But, scientists have discovered that texting can
give us problems with our hands. Be careful! Too much texting can cause swelling (肿胀) in our
thumbs.  Our thumbs were not made for pushing small buttons, over and over.  Scientists call this problem
RSI.  We spoke to a doctor called Harriet Wilson, who treats many sick people with RSI. She says we
need to see how much time we are spending in typing text messages.  If we are spending more than 10-15
minutes at once, we could have problems in the future.
As mobile phones develop, they are getting smaller with buttons closer together. Texting with a smaller
phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons.Using a computer keyboard and playing
video games can cause the same problem.  So more and more people could find themselves with RSL
Among them, most are university students and teenagers, as they do not know the risks of spending so
much time using computer, video games and mobile phones. If we don't do something about this, too
many young people could grow up in terrible pain.
Note: RSI abbr .肢体重复性劳损 (repetitive strain injury).
