Teens & Cell Usage

The face of admissions is changing. According to Pew Internet Research over 75% of teens now carry a mobile phone. Of that percentage who own phones, more than 54% prefer to use smart phones to communicate compared to only 11% who use email. 33% of teens send over 100 text messages a day - that’s over 3000 texts a month. 47% of teens claim they can type/text with their eyes closed. There is little question that teen cell phone usage is on a dramatic climb. It is the preferred form of communication that will dominate for the foreseeable future - whether that is by text messages, social networks or email. You need to be where your users are.
