Staying in touch - Mobile phones

The latest development in handphones is a bone-shaped
device that answers on the first ring for owners to speak
to their dogs


Having a mobile phone is child’s play for British kids
nowadays. And the handset’s technological revolution
has even gone to the dogs, literally.

No, it’s not a case of barking up the wrong tree but
bone-shaped devices will soon be made available for
pets too.

It’s amazing but a million children under 10 years in
Britian – one in three – now have their own mobile phones,
double the figure two years ago.

The average age at which a child gets his or her first
mobile phone in Britain is eight, against 12 in the
United States.
