More SMS Than Internet, More Internet Than Newspapers

For young people, sending messages using SMS (Short Message Service) over cellular phones is more powerful than doing so through the Internet, according to a recent survey. The results of a study conducted by Ericsson Consumer Lab show that 68 percent of Spaniards between 15 and 24 years old send messages with their cellular phones every day. But only 38 percent of young people connect to the 'Net on a daily basis.I know that Spain is a mobile phone crazy country, so the question is, if the same numbers are also true for other countries in Europe. Anyway, it is a good indicator of what the future will probably look like.

Yep, I know. I recently saw a documentary called "Handykulturen" (mobile phone cultures) on german television (ARD, ZDF) and it showed the mobile craze all over the world. Italy is crazy about telefoninos, Israel even more (even the orthodox have mobile phones, naturally without access to the internet, which is prohibited). In Egypt you can download the Koran on your mobile. In Singapur you are only 70% worth without your mobile...
