Now it's Generation X-Cell!?
Cell phones have become the most important status symbol in the lives of teenagers prior to a driver's licence, the Washington Post reports. In four years the proportion of American youngsters aged 11 to 17 owning a cell phone has gone from an estimated 5 per cent to 30 per cent and is expected to reach nearly half by 2007. By the end of this year people aged 11 to 24 may account for a quarter of the total cellular market - a $21 billion share. (From The Washington Post, Apr 25, reported in Family Edge)
