Which, statistically, it's pretty much correct.

Statistically may not be the right word when we don't have numbers here, but anecdotally it seems so correct to me that I'd settle for the word "empirically" here.

How about emphatically? :P

Which statistic? To me it's highly unlikely all people are excesive users. Like excessive users of Firefox with 5+ tabs are like 8-11%.

My personal exhaustive statistics of nearly every kid with a phone I've seen.

Where excessive = anything beyond taking the ocassional call, sending a few text messages and playing a game for half an hour.

Some people think excessive has to mean "needs to be sedated before someone can take the phone off his hands".

That's a VERY bad exhaustive statistic.

Kids that are annoying, are more visible than non-annoying kids. Therefore your mental recollection of such kids is biased towards kids that you find annoying.

Seeing how American kids are very attention seeking driven, I don't see how it's better than the alternative. Kids screaming top of their lungs to attract attention.

What statistics are those?
