LOS ANGELES, Aug. 11 (UPI) -- Only 14 percent of teenagers said they were interested in watching TV on a cell phone and only 17 percent would watch on an iPod, a recent study showed.

A Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll indicated that those who are most likely to take hold of new technology do not see its value.

thats because kids dont give a tinkers cuss about technology, its about gimme gimme gimme and whether their mother has bought them their favorite icecream or whether or not their genitals are still there. (thats why they reach). LOL
My God, cant we just get TV out our lives and back into the idiot box from whence it came.

I don't understand why anyone would watch anything on a 3 inch screen and pay 15-20 bucks a month.

TV on such a small screen is pointless...

Couple this with an article I read the other day that said kids were not watching as much TV now but were spending more time on the internet and this makes sense...

I remember in an mobile phone training session (used to work for O2 - UK network) having a discussion with a trainer. I said that MP3 would be the next requirement of mobile phones after cameras and they said that was rubbish and only geeks were interested in MP3, wish I could see their faces now!! This discussion took place about 4-5 years ago!!
