cellphone usage among 10-17-year-olds jumps by more than an hour a day
in the summer, to more than 3 hours and 45 minutes, compared with usage

The poll of more than 1,500 teens and preteens found that 44
percent use text messages as their primary form of communication. More
than half -- 52 percent -- say they send text messages from a movie
theater while 28 percent have sent messages from the dinner table.
For many -- 26 percent -- texting is one of the first things they do in the morning, within 10 minutes of waking up.
Almost all respondents -- 96 percent -- said they communicate with a parent daily via cellphone, while 20 percent said they use a cellphone to connect with Mom or Dad at least five times a day.
