Teens, Smartphones & Texting | Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project

Teens, Smartphones & Texting | Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project: Teens are fervent communicators. Straddling childhood and adulthood, they communicate frequently with a variety of important people in their lives: friends and peers, parents, teachers, coaches, bosses, and a myriad of other adults and institutions. This report examines the tools teens use to communicate, with a particular focus on mobile devices, and then places the use of those tools in the broader context of how teens choose to communicate with people in their lives.
