Mobile phones are more important than ever in the daily lives of students,
but how they use them has changed greatly in the past six years. While phones
are still widely use for communication, a recent study has found that most students
think talking on mobile phones is now old-fashioned.
London University researchers surveyed 1055 young people aged 13 to 18
about their mobile phone habits. The researchers divided mobile phone use into
“communication” and “entertainment”. Communication included talking on
the phone and writing messages using texting（短信）or chatting software.
Entertainment was made up of playing games, watching movies, listening to

music and surfing the Internet. The findings were then compared to a 2008 study,
to see what changed. The results are shown below:
Perhaps most surprising is how little time students spend talking on their phones
these days. Six years ago the average student spent 36% of their mobile phone
time making or receiving calls. In 2014, only 10% of time was used for talking. When
students use their phones to communicate, more and more often it is done by
using chat software like qq or wechat.

“Communication is still an important function of mobile phones. But now
mobile phones are being used more for entertainment than for communication,”
said Dr Harry Lectre, the research leader.
