Manufacturers of mobile phones "spud" eight-year-olds
Not so long ago, cell phones were mostly entertainment and partly a working tool for uncles in crimson jackets. Now, as they say, it's time to give way to the young.
Mobile industry analysts are confident that the future of the market is now determined by young people on our planet - children aged 8 to 12 years. Approximately 6.6 million (out of 20 million) American children have already got mobile phones, and their number will reach 10.5 million by 2010. The number of 8-year-old children, flaunting cell phones, is about 500 thousand, while 9-year-olds - already about a million and a quarter.
The reason, I suppose, is clear to many: a mobile phone allows the child to feel more mature. And how to "put pressure" on loving parents, children are well aware.
