Mobile lifestyle or life in the mobile: a perceptional outlook of Chennai city

Abstract

Cell phones have become increasingly popular in recent years. While people of various ages find cell phones convenient and useful, tend to be more dependent on them. Based on a survey conducted in a randomly in different age-size in Chennai City, cell phone use was examined. The survey consisted of questions that dealt with various aspects of cell phone use, such as cell phone ownerships, time spent for cell phone calls, monthly cell phone bills, communication networks, text messaging, and cell phone dependency. The survey results showed significant gender differences in several aspects of cell phone use. Multiple interpretations of the findings are discussed.
