Most KMU students use cell phones. Question 2 tells us that 6% of students started using cell phones in elementary school. Students used cell phones from early in life. Questions 9, 13, 14, and 15 tell us that most students always have their cell phone handy. However, we should turn off our cell phones during class. Thank you for answering our questions.
