Gangsta Cellphone
Look who’s talking! People in Miami and Los Angeles chat on their cell phones more than any other Americans, according to a survey of cell phone use in major cities. People in Miami make and receive an average of 298 calls a month — an average of 9-10 calls daily — while Angelenos talk second most, averaging 260 calls per month, a survey of Verizon Wireless users found.
Rounding out the top 5 were Detroit, El Paso, Texas, and Las Vegas. New Yorkers were 11th and Washington failed to find a place in the top 30.
California is also about to pass a ban on hand-held cell phones while driving that would likely cut cell-phone use by car-bound Angelenos dramatically when it takes effect in 2008.
We need more studies about addictions like this. Is it like the dweebs who can’t function without an iPod plugged into their heads — like their lives are vacant without background music?
