The average adult racks up 10 text messages in a day. Teens average 50 per day, or 1,500 per month, so says a new study just published.

Although Americans once lagged in text messaging, U.S. teens have zoomed right past many other countries says Rich Ling, a professor at IT University of Copenhagen.

Many are even predicting that texting will soon be more popular than calls.

So whether you’re President Obama, sports legend Tiger Woods or a hardworking Realtor® texting could be something you will be dealing with more extensively in the not too distant future.

We all know that digital data is notoriously hard to destroy. So the explosion of texting is creating a new concern regarding privacy. Even the Supreme Court is already struggling with this issue in a case involving a police SWAT member.

Is this concern real or only to those who have something to hide. What are your options?
