I had been wondering what purpose  cell phones serve and the extent to which students¿  attention and energy are spent on cell phones.    This work discusses the influence of cell phones on  teen culture. It explores the relationship between  cell phones and perceived popularity among teens as  well as how cell phones influence connectivity and  social impact. An online focus group through a  weblog was used to explore the thoughts, feelings  and experiences that teens have regarding cell  phones. The results from the focus group showed  that cell phones¿ overwhelming purpose is for  connectivity. While there were allusions during the  online discussion to other characteristics  associated with popularity, such as attractiveness  and social deviance, it was evident that the effects  of cell phones on teen culture go much deeper than  the traditional characteristics associated with  popularity.
