Overheard: Kids Discussing Cell Phone Companies
Wow, I feel super old.
This morning when I dropped my stepson off at elementary school, there were some fourth or fifth grade boys outside discussing which cell phone company they would choose if it were up to them.
“Sprint’s OK, but I think I’d pick AT&T.”
Crazy!
But consider this: According to a study from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, one-third of children age 10-12 own a cell phone. And another market research firm recently estimated that 54% of 8-12-year-olds will own a cell phone by 2009.
Whatever happened to tying up the home phone line for hours? For free!
