1.2 Background
The mobile phone is one of the most beneficial tools in our modern society, not only for business adults but for the students. Mobile phones have become an integral part of our everyday life, it is said that everyone wants to have one, and almost a quarter already have one (Downie and Glazebrook,February2007,P.1) Indeed, in a recent PEW INTERNETSURVEY found that not only the adults but also students have mobile phones. The usage of mobile phones has increased ,75% of 12-17 year-olds now own cell phones, up from 45% in 2004 (Paige Brown ,June 12, 2012,P.1). Students are using the mobile phones to communicate with their friends, play games, and listen to music. Thus the mobile phone has becomes a necessary part of the students’ life. Because mobile phone can connect with the internet, so it is a good and convenient method for students to research useful information for their essays and reports, and it is also a wonderful way for them to make conversations with relatives and friends. There are, however, not only positive effects of mobile usage but also some bad effects. For instance, many students’ spending mainly relies on family and mobile phones belong to high-end products so mobile phone's expenses increased burden on the family.
This report is very important, because it can let people know something about the use of mobile phone.

It is not only good to students but also to the industry.
