Thnk ur gr8 @ txt msgng?
In competition in Australia, a telegraph operator since 1927 was pitted against a 13-year-old girl in a battle of the messengers. The old gentleman has a lifetime of experience using Morse code; The girl has two years of text messaging experience and a slew of popular slang.
The telegrapher transmitted the complete message in 90 seconds; the girl used texting shorthand and took 108 seconds to send the same message.
The message: "Hey, girlfriend, you can text all your best pals to tell them where you are going and what you are wearing."
