　　LONDON- “Everyone else has one!”Lucy declared to her parents, trying to get a mobile phone as a gift for her 14th birthday. Her parents gave in.

　　Curious to know how her daughter would use the phone, Jane Bidder, the mother, followed Lucy to the school bus in the morning. The bus seats 20, of whom half have a mobile phone. One rings and several adolescent owners fumble with their bags.

　　Many parents have just come to realize that the mobile phone is no longer only for travelling businessmen－－it is as likely to be found in school bags.

　　The mobile phone seems to have become something essential for today’s teens in Britain, according to a survey published last week, by NOP a leading market research company in Britain. Research found that 66 per cent of 16-year-olds now have access to a mobile phone.

　　The mobile phone has been turned into a secret messaging service by teen users. When they are talking on the mobile, their parents are not able to eavesdrop on the second line.

　　The interviews with 2,019 young people aged 7 to 16 found that they favour the text messaging services because they offer a secret way of keeping in touch. The days of secret notes in the classroom are dying out.

　　For example,“cya”means“see you”;“lol”means“laughs out loud”; and“2nite”is an abbreviation of “tonight”. All these are based on shorthand phrases used on the Internet.

　　Many schools have banned students using mobile phones. But they are not very successful. Still phones ring in the class and disturb study.

　　Besides, people are worried about the health risk to kids using mobile phones.

　　Scientists believe children are especially vulnerable (易受伤害的) to the mobile radiation.

　　As you are receiving my note by e-mail, it’s wise to remember how easily this wonderful technology can be misused, sometimes unintentionally, with serious consequences.

　　Consider the case of the Illinois man who left the snow-filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day.

When the grieving widow checked her e-mail, she took one look at the monitor (屏幕), let out a piercing scream, and fell to the floor in a dead faint.
