AN EMPIRICAL STUDY OF CELL PHONE AND SMARTPHONE USAGE

Abstract

In a few short years, a variety of new wireless communication devices have profoundly changed how and why we communicate.Understanding the uses and motivators and characteristics associated with these new forms of communications is important for practitioners and researchers as they increasingly adopt these technologies.This study was to review activities and variables associated with cell phone and smartphone usage among a sample of US college students.The study is an attempt to provide general information on the use of mobile devices today as well as some of the motivators behind use and satisfaction.Specifically, we examine demographic and device differences with regard to a wide range of mobile phone uses as well as influences on satisfaction with mobile devices and uses.
