This study is actually a “four years ago” picture of what Asians have gotten accustomed to. Television and radio have moved down on the covet list in place of mobile phones as the new social jumpboard.
More than one fifth of the 18 to 24 year old category, or the Generation Mobile tribe to give them their approved marketing wonk’s moniker, have ditched someone or been sent to Dumpsville themselves via SMS.
In fact, the study by Carphone Warehouse and the London School of Economics found texting has usurped voice calling as the main thing people use their phones for. The all-conquering rise of the mobile phone is illustrated by the shocking finding that young adults place it above even television as the most revered bit of electrical kit.
hehe. nothing to say – its a “generation next”.
