Too Much Texting
| Division: | Engineering & Computing Sciences | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Beaufort-Delta | | City: | Inuvik, NT | | School: | Samuel Hearne Secondary School | | Abstract: | I chose this project because I wanted to test and prove that texting affects your memory and reaction rate. I found by two separate tests that texting does decrease you ability to recall information and slows your reaction time. My results show that texting affects boys and girls differently, however it still affects both by a significant amount. |
