Cellphones used more but not for talking
Click on this link to read a Sarasota Herald-Tribune story about how use of cellphones for purposes other than conversations has, for the first time, exceeded voice calls. The article offers some interesting observations about what this says about the change in lifestyles and schedules.

I got my first cell phone when I was in 6th grade and now kids get them when they are in 3rd grade or even younger. My first phone was cheap, big and it wasn't with a contract it was one of those card phones. Now kids have IPhones or Blackberries. It is true that we now use our phone for everything. If I lost my phone I would probably loose half of my life. I have everything saved in it, even files from school. Sometimes I forget it in the house and I don't freak out or anything but I notice that something is missing and I also notice how much I actually use it. I think most people are the same way with their phones. I do talk with people but not as much. I might get calls from my family, some friends, maybe work and my boyfriend, but that's about it.
