__**Summary of Results**__

Over 75% of survey participants relied on cell phones as their primary means of communication. More and more, we are seeing becoming reliant on their cell phones for not only communication purposes, but for entertainment purposes as well, for example, Facebook. Over 50% of participants use their cell phone to access social networking sites such as Facebook and/or Twitter, and this indicates to us that many of these users rely on cell phones for more than just communication purposes, but also as a tool to interact and socialize.

Many of the participants, over 80%, are aware of the possible health risks induced by excessive cell phone usage. But still, and regardless of their awareness, 80% of participants did not reduce cell phone usage due to avoid possible health risks.

We found that even regular cell phone users who are not excessive talkers or users still spend an average time of between 1-3 hours on their cell phone. But the majority of our participants averaged between 4-7hours on their cell phones. While we do acknowledge that this not indicate that the duration of time is spent exclusively on phone calls and could be spent texting, playing games etc., spending an average of 3hrs merely on your cell phone is still reason for concern.
