Want to know what U.S. smartphone adoption might look like next year? You’d do well to start by taking a look at today’s teenagers, who are owning smartphones and accessing the internet through mobile in increasing numbers.<\/p>\n

A new study set to release Tuesday night<\/a> from the Pew Research Center<\/a>\u00a0finds that one in four American teenagers accesses the internet primarily through mobile; about three quarters of those teens own cell phones, and half of that group uses\u00a0smartphones. The report, titled “Teens and Technology 2013,”<\/a> surveyed\u00a0802 teenagers (ages 12-17), as well as their parents, to better understand how U.S. teenagers are using technology.<\/p>\n

The major mobile carriers in the United States found that adult smartphone adoption<\/a> in the United States hit 50 percent in August 2012, and teenagers aren’t far behind, nearing almost 40 percent at this point.<\/p>\n

Here were some statistics we found most interesting from the report, which can be found on the Pew Research Center website<\/a>:<\/p>\n
