The beginning of text messaging​

1837 – 1844 – The electric telegraph was invented in 1837. It was the first device that could electronically send text-based messages from one location to another. The first telegram, sent by Samuel Morse ( inventor of the Morse Code), only traveled for two miles.

By 1844, Morse had set up the first long-distance telegraph system between Baltimore and Washington — a total distance of 44 miles. The first message sent using the system read, “WHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT.” This is a direct Bible reference and a Book of Numbers quote, which translates to “What has God made?”, meant to point out the miraculous nature of technological progress.

Radio communication followed shortly after, with the invention of radiotelegraphy or wireless telegraphy. Guglielmo Marconi invented the first radio transmitters/receivers between 1894 and 1895, which paved the way to the development of radiotelephony. At the beginning of 1908, transoceanic stations exchanged telegrams of up to 200 words per minute.

The first messaging network​

1933 – The German Reichspost (postal service) unveiled the Telex service to overcome the shortcomings of telegraphs. Telex was a public network of teleprinters that was very similar to today’s telephone networks.

I would point out that wasn't texting AND driving. More driving INTO texting. Your argument is judged invalid.
Point of order !! It did state Texting And Driving fatalities so it could be read as fatalities while texting and fatalities while driving so the numbers you stated would be completely Wrong... As I am sure there were more driving fatalities in the 1960's than 0 !!
