The next entrant in the 'I never knew this was a skill and I can make money at it' category is ... drum roll ... Text Messaging (TM for shortcode). I was at the event and I must say, the girl who took home prize was adorable and deserving of the title, and it was actually more fun and suspense than I thought it would be so kudos to LG. Morgan Pozgar took home 25K (and her brother won a 50" flatscreen in the same competition) for having the fastest fingers in the east. She beat many other contestants, all of whom seemed to live and die by the qwerty.
Are we going to have training camps for text messaging? Scores of youth, working their fingers to the bone to see who can text CU L8R, LUL!! (LUL=Love You Lots i just learned) the quickest? Well I for one, hope so. Gotta give them kids something to look forward to now that all the manufacturing jobs are gone.
