    1. measurements of cell phone use should not be limited to only texting and calling but should take this wide array of activities into account.

    3. perceive the cell phone primarily as a leisure device,

      "an equipment, tool, or interactive item designed and intended for recreational use, relaxation, or play during free time" I honestly believe this statement more people have been using their devices more as a comfort/relaxation thing such as people In other generations would do with "tv time" people know use their phones more as "phone time" or a more common pop culture saying " scroll break."
