17-year-old takes home $50,000 prize for typing 149-character message in 39 seconds. What do you think about rewarding a teenager for fast texting?

It's a new era

It's just another skill. Texting has a bad connotation because of obsessive overuse & accidents many of which are fatal or cause disabilities. Texting can save a life or create another wonderful experience. Everthing about it isn't negative. Why shouldn't a 17 year old make 50K? Maybe it's college money. With that kind of skill, like wow, text in your homework.

I dont see this any different that awarding a prize for the fastest 50 yard dash, or the fastest to complete a test, etc, etc.
