What are the negative effects of habitual texting on a  person's overall health? I think this is a good research question because it is researchable and not too opinionated.  This research question clearly shows what position I'm standing for, which are the negative effects of habitual texting on a  person's overall health.  Also I think this question goes in-depth enough, it's not too broad nor too narrow.  Some things i've learned from researching so far (coming from e-how.com) is that text messaging can be an addiction, and the American Psychiatric Association included this addiction as part of a disorder called "Internet Addiction." Also i've learned that texting can cause temporary or permanent damage to the user's thumb. The specific aspects I want to research further is what texting can do to a person physically, mentally, and socially.  Especially if the person is addicted to texting. I want to research the negative things that happen when a person texts all the time. I feel that many people can relate since many people are text messaging nowadays.
