   ;) ;) ;)  Ericsson Research Reveals Teenagers' Communication Habits and Tools
How do teenagers prefer to communicate and socialize with each other? Seeing their behavior as having important implications for the future of devices and technology, Ericsson ConsumerLab carried out research into what those implications will be. The survey, conducted between June and November 2011, shows that the common usage of texting and Facebook has changed the dynamics of teenage dating. The biggest changes can be seen in the courting process, where the goal is to ask the other person out on a date. However teenagers still meet potential romantic partners face-to-face. The report finds that the ownership level for smartphones and regular mobile phones are the same for 17-year-olds, but 13-year-olds are much more interested in getting a smartphone, if they don't already have one.
