Question #5
“In 2002 only eight percent of 7-9 year olds had cell phones, a year later this number had doubled to one in six having mobiles. In the age group 10-11 years, 58 percent use mobiles, up 12 percent points in a year. Nearly all older children have cell phones: 89 percent of 12-13 year-olds, 96 percent of 14-15 year-olds, and 100 percent of 16-21 year-olds own and use mobiles. The survey measured habits at 1,500 households across the country.”
