MOBILITIES By: Katherine Purcell
THE TECHNOLOGY GENERATION ARE INVESTED IN A FULL
TIME COMMITMENT TO SMATPHONES.
37% of teens in the U.S. have aSmartphone.
Younger groups text the most. Teens 13-17 sent and received the most text
messages (an average of 3,417 each month).
This young generation of "mobile surfers" grows and comes of
age .
At the tender ages of two and three, 44 percent know how to play a computer
game vs. 43 percent that know how to ride a bike.
A majority of youngsters claim losing their phone would be "disastrous to their
social lives.”
Researchers have found that constantly checking for messages is an addiction
which like other drugs can ruin your personal relationships.
Roughly 58 photographs are being uploaded each second TO INSTAGRAM.
Instagram gains 1 new user every second.
Snapchat’s website claims that more than 50 million snaps are sent every day.
In the U.S., Snapchat was the second-most popular free photo and video app
for the iPhone in early February, just behind YouTube and ahead of Instagram.
Facebook accounts for 23 percent of the time people spend on Smartphones.
86% of the US population will own a smartphone by 2017, up from 66% in
2013
Teens are just as likely to have a cell phone as they are to have a desktop or
laptop computer.
There has already been a "drastic drop" in the number of teens getting driver's
licenses, likely due to their adoption of mobile technology and social media.
Young adults spend up to seven hours a day interacting with communication
technology and their behavior can spill over into a problem.
For some it can become a compulsion and others feel feelings of withdrawal
when they are not with their phone.
A previous study showed that young people are now so addicted to their mobile
phones it feels like they have lost a limb when they are without them.
