Just a little cheer for Ofcom’s report this week that in 2011 only 67% of 16-24 year olds (the most communicative age it seems) made more mobile phone calls each day while 90% used more texts – and 73% used social network sites.
I entirely realise that this is happening because said 16-24 years old finding texting / social networking more convenient and congenial than speaking on the phone – not because they have been paying attention to worthy, electrosmog-aware people like me wittering on about the dangers of excessive mobile phone use – but do I care, as long as they are doing it!
Of course I realise that this change may presage various dire social consequences – but, hey – what silver lining does not have a cloud?…..
