New Study: Pew Teen Mobile Phone Use

The Pew Internet & American life project new study demonstrates teen cell phone use. The results seem to affirm a lot of previous notions concerning teens but there is so much good information in here take a few minutes and flip through.

If you like what you see send a thank you to @amanda_lenhart on Twitter.

Here’s a couple of takeaways:

They text over 50 times a day but call less than 5
After texting they use their phones for taking & sharing photos
Over half talk while driving (34% txt while driving)
Teens who pay for their bill will do more with their phone

There is a whole lot more information in here. If you have teens, check page 19 for discipline/snooping bar charts.
