You Want Me To Use My Mobile Phone To Make A Call? You’re Kidding, Right?

Cell phones are no longer used mostly to carry on a conversation with someone. According to a recent survey, making a call is now only the sixth most common use for using a mobile phone.

The study found that sending and receiving text messages, reading emails, browsing the Internet and using the phone's alarm clock have all overtaken actual conversation. In fact, we even take pictures and check Facebook more often than we dial someone up.

And almost 40 percent of smartphone users say they believe they could actually manage to get along if they weren't able to make a phone call at all.
