Studies show that teenage cell phone ownership has gone up by 68% in the last five years
They send text messages on average once every ten minutes (if you know my cousins you'll know its often much more then that!)
So what does this mean for us, will carpal tunnel begin at twenty for our children? How is this effecting them?
The FCC is hosting "Generation Mobil" to bring together teens, parents, educators and experts on the subject
It will feature remarks from FCC Chairman Juius Genachowski and a presentation of findings from a Pew Internet and American Life study on kids' mobile phone usage.
