South Korean Teenagers, adept at blind texting

Interesting insight on teenagers in South Korea from The New York Times. This part caught my eye, related to cell phones:

"Hye Jin, who has had a mobile phone since the seventh grade,sends text messages without even glancing at the keypad. In class, she looks straight ahead, holding a pen in her right hand, punching away messages with the left on her phone under her desk.

Some boys have taken this rebelliousness further by carving holes in their desks, through which they look down at their phones."
