As
a Director on the Board of Kajeet, Rick Bolander carefully monitors the
mobile phone usage of teenagers and young people. Kajeet allows parents
to implement controls on their children’s cellular activities.
The
Pew Research Center’s recently released report, which documented cell
phone usage habits among teenagers, uncovered some interesting facts
about computers and landlines.
Teens who send the most texts
often do not enjoy access to a home computer, even if another family
member owns one. Almost half of the teens in this group do not have
computers in their homes at all.
Traditional voice calls appear
to be declining among adolescents. One-quarter of those polled said they
never place voice calls. Only two in five make calls daily. Landline
usage also seems to be decreasing. In 2009, 30 percent of teens spoke
with their friends using landlines daily. Just over two years later,
this has fallen to 14 percent. Another one-third never utilize landlines
for such communication at all.
