Escaping Facebook Just Became That Much Harder

It’s amazing how much our generation is addicted to Facebook–so much so that we are driving up the rate of internet usage in cell phones. A new study by CCS Insight has found that a third of 16-36 year olds access Facebook through their cell phones on a regular basis. It’s more popular than MySpace, Bebo, and Twitter combined. And the number of users is only going up; by the end of the year it’s predicted that almost 45% of youth will be accessing the net from their cells.

So not only is the stalker in all of us exponentially increased by having Facebook available at all times in our back pocket, but our addiction is lining the pockets of cell phone companies as well–accessing internet each month costs an average of $30 more than just a phone plan.

If you’ve got a Sidekick or a Blackberry or any other phone that slices, dices, makes french fries and helps you surf the internet, your battery probably only lasts a day (at most) until you have to charge it. Whenever we have to go somewhere for more than say.. 12 hours, our chargers are always in tow. So it was only a matter of time until some green minded folks came up with a solar powered cell phone.

Not only green, but CHEAP too! Some of these suckers would retail for LESS THAN $50 BUCKS. Personally, my eyes lit up and I got incredibly excited when I first heard about it. But it looks like the hype just don’t cut it…
