Mobile phone recycling may appeal to all ages

10/12/2010

There may be no one demographic that dominates the mobile recycling market, as people of all ages strive to gain access to the latest products.

Zara Rabinowicz, a technology expert, explains the rise of social media is taking in Britons of many different generations.

Whether individuals use it as a chance to source news or to keep up with friends, the desire remains and could fuel a passion for the latest mobiles and tablet handsets.

Indeed, some such models could be a bigger winner with older people rather than young technology fans.

"The recent influx of tablets – the iPad, the Samsung Galaxy S, et cetera – are priced out of the average teen's pocket, yet have been received with enthusiasm from adults of all ages," notes Ms Rabinowicz.

A recent report by Ofcom found the country is also experiencing an increase in demand for broadband services, with take-up growing by three percentage points in 2009.
