A researcher at Kansas State University found that mobile phones tend to primarily act as passive entertainment devices rather than serve the purpose of a anytime-anywhere communication device. The focus group of the research was rather limited with the population of the university campus being adults between the ages of 19 and 24. Esther Sweeney's research determined that mobile phones are very personal products and the individual ownership is “a big deal” for their owners. Phones are not shared and have become key entertainment devices, which is not very surprising.
