The Carphone Warehouse, The London School of Economics, and Lord Philip Gould recently published the results of a survey of 16,500 people concerning their use of mobile phones. Among the findings, “people send 3.6 mobile text messages a day vs. making 2.8 voice calls a day…Among 18-24 year olds the texting revolution has had the biggest impact: for example, 51% of 18-24 year-olds send/receive at least six text messages a day - but only 15% have six or more mobile phone conversations a day.”
The study goes on to cover lifestyle issues, demographics, crime, citizen journalism, and the eclipse of traditional television.
