Is that 10 years continous use? If so, most youngsters will be death by

time they are 18, if the 'music' hasn't 'got them by 15 ;-)


I assume you mean deaf?


Indeed, thinking of something else as I typed. Its the 'music' ;-)

Few people have used cell phones
for ten years already.


Not sure about that. The mobile phone was an icon of the 'Yuppie' era (along
with the Filofax, BMW, Rolex, etc.) That was mid 1980s.

I'm pretty sure we one of the early 'next generation' phones (digital) in
about 1990.
