The impact of the mobile phone on the lives of young people

How is the mobile phone changing the lives of young people in the UK and what is the impact on their parents? Are young people better communicators? Has the mobile phone improved family ties? Has it enabled young people to create their own private worlds away from the prying eyes of adults?

We wanted to find the answers to some of these questions when we commissioned the Mobile Life Youth Report, one of the largest consumer surveys into the impact of the mobile phone on the daily lives of young people. Over 1,250 11-17 year olds were asked what they think about their mobile phone and how they use this ubiquitous piece of technology.
