About 10 years ago they used to have speed texting contests. Kids would text as fast as they could using only the keypads of their feature-phones.

I believe it was Letterman who invited on the winner and an old guy who used to work as a telegraph operator.

The old man finished the test text 3 times before the world champion texter finished once.

Waste disposal wells are common, but are all far deeper than any aquifers. Oil is pretty toxic, so pumping crud down in place of former oil makes all kinds of sense. They have nothing in particular to do with fracking. Water separated from oil is almost always injected down a disposal well. Water from that deep is very acidic and useless as water from the start.
