Cell Phone and Kids

In 2004, the study found, less than half of U.S. teens aged 12 to 17 owned a cell phone, compared to 65 percent of adults. By 2008, teens owning cell phones had increased to 71 percent, versus 77 percent of adults.

The sample size of the study, however, was just 914 people in 2004, versus 2,134 respondents in 2008.

However, the cell phone wasn't the most prevalent electronic device teens owned, at least in 2008. The most popular gadget was a game console, owned by 78 percent of the respondents. Next was an iPod or other MP3 player, which just edged out the mobile phone with 74 percent. Only 60 percent of teens said they owned a PC, whether it be a desktop or notebook.
