Curious to know how her daughter would use the phone, Jane Bidder, the mother, followed Lucy to the school bus in the morning. The bus seats 20, of whom half have a mobile phone. One rings and several adolescent(青少年)owners fumble(摸索)with their bags.
Many parents have just come to realize that the mobile phone is no longer only for traveling business-men—it is as likely to be found in school bags.
The mobile phone seems to have become something essential for today's teens in Britain, according to a survey(调查)published last week, by NOP, a leading market research company in Britain. Research found that 66 percent of 16-year-old kids now have access to a mobile phone.
The mobile phone has been turned into a secret messaging service by teen users. They are talking on the mobile and their parents are not able to eavesdrop on the second line.
The interview with 2 019 young people aged 7 to 16 found that they favor the text messaging services because they offer a secret way of keeping in touch. The days of secret notes in the classroom are dying out.
For example, “cu” means “see you”; “lol”means “laugh out loud”;and “2nite” is an abbreviation(缩略语)of “tonight”. All these are based on shorthand phrases used on the Internet.
Many schools have banned(禁止)students using mobile phones.
Scientists believe children are especially vulnerable(易受伤害的)to the mobile radiation(放射线).
