First of all, that pic right there says a lot...  Anyway, ever wonder why text messages are limited to 160 characters.  The maximum number of characters one can use in a text message was formulated almost 20 years before most people had ever heard of texting.

Apparently, when German researcher Friedhelm Hillebrand was working on a precursor to today's SMS system in 1985 he concluded, after considering the average length of a postcard and the typical telex message (a then-popular messaging service for business executives), that 160 characters was sufficient for this new type of communication.

& now years ltr we're stil typng msgs on tiny lil kybrds bck & frth 2 each other.
