Teenage Minds
While checking Chicago sites for information on Ozzie today, I came across a blog by Dave Wischnowsky on the Chicago Tribune site. If you are the parent of a teenager, it’s definitely worth the read!
“Especially among younger people, it appears that customers are ahead of cell phone companies in devising new applications,” Simpson quoted an unnamed “Siemens bigwig” as saying.
In light of the Siemens survey, mediapost.com struck out to interview teens from across the country, just to confirm that they really do want snazzy new features on their cell phones.
Not surprisingly, their answer was: “Yeah.”
Be sure to read the entire post, especially the comments. This is my favorite:
Fifteen-year-old from Calabasas, Calif.: “I’d like to be able to scan in exam questions so I can text them to my friends in the library. My thumbs get really tired having to manually enter them now.”
