And in 2005, according to new-media research company Telephia, Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 are the ones talking the most on cell phones, averaging almost 22 hours a month.

22 hours a month equates to 3% of your life…  hanging on the phone?  Geez.  The above article also investigates drunk dialing ;-)  

Apparently 80% of ‘drunk dialing’ is motivated or related to sex…  no idea what they mean.
