Teens already don’t like talking to their mothers: some mothers tell me that the only way they can communicate with their teenager is by text message. Well, recently Pew Internet, a project set up to look into current American values virtually, conducted a survey of 800 teen girls and the findings are astounding:

Half of those surveyed text more than 50 times a day, totaling more than 3000/month. Older girls between 14 and 17 text on average 100 times/day.

Another astounding fact is that 21% of teens use only their cellphone to access the internet. This is surprising as, except for advanced OS’s such as iPhone and Android, the mobile internet is very limited, and often confined to the closed-wall barriers of a certain carrier’s store Ring Tone and MP3 store.

Read the whole report from Pew, it’s quite informative.
