New Pew Center research says 85 percent of Americans now have cell phones. Everyone we know has one, right? Except maybe Grandma. She's in that 15 percent that miraculously moves through life without a mobile phone.

One out of every two people over the age of 18 owns a smart phone.

What do you do with your smart phone? If you actually talk on it, you're one of the few!

The Pew Research Center says 97 percent of Americans aged 18 to 29 text regularly, and in fact texting is one of the most popular things we do with our phones. Another regular phone activity for most of us is taking pictures and uploading them to social media. Who needs a phone for talking anymore!

Recording video and downloading apps are popular too. Have you downloaded the radioPup App that lets you listen to Mix 93-1 on your phone? Pretty cool to have the tunes going when you're standing in line at the grocery store. Or you can plug your headphones in and listen while you're out jogging. You can listen anywhere, anytime.

The point is, our phones are an extension of us and we'd be lost without them.

Text us anytime! Text Mixstudio right now to 89000 and request a song, and see for yourself that smart phones have made us all just a button click away.
