With sincere apologies, I have to again disagree.
It is all relative. Cell phones use in this age group, that would be the primary users of streaming video, use this technology as a luxury
CTIA-The Wireless Association® in conjunction with Harris Interactive has released some new research on cell phone use by teenagers (Release: September 12th, 2008). The survey looked at teenagers aged 13-19, across the United States. There were 100 questions about cell phones, perceptions, and attitudes.
Below I have highlighted some interesting findings
- 57% agree or somewhat agree that the cell phone has improved their quality of life.
- 18% agree or somewhat agree that the cell phone has positively influenced their education.
- 35% have used their cell phone to reach out to someone in need (good Samaritan)
- 41% are concerned about privacy and security issues when using my mobile.
- 57% of Smartphone users and 29% of regular cell phone users said they carry their cell phone because it is how they stay connected to their "world".
- 59% of Smartphone users and 37% of regular cell phone users said they carry their cell phone because it is an indicator of their personal style.
- Overall a teenagers cell phone ranked 2nd only to clothing, in determining their social status.
- 42% of teenagers said they could text message blindfolded!
- The younger the teen, the more likely they are to choose text messaging over talking on the phone to someone.
- The #1 reason why teens liked text messaging was because it allowed them to multitask.
- Teens are not selecting text messaging to save money.
- Females are much more likely to text messaging than males, and find the ability to text message to be more significant in their lives than males.
- 66% want cell phones to provide the freedom to get an education from any location on earth.
- 63% want cell phones to bring the world closer by better understanding global issues.
- 28% of teens are browsing the web on their cell phones.
- 59% of teens are willing to provide their profile information to businesses that advertise on cell phones!
- The ideal cell phone for teenagers would include; mp3 player, GPS, Desktop/Laptop computer, portable video player, and access to your desktop/laptop computer files from anywhere!

We will have to agree to disagree, a cell phone is a necessity, not a luxury, in my very humble opinion.
