This post SMSing Under the Dinner Table reveals how in a new T-Mobile USA survey on mobile communications during the American holiday season it showed that active use of cell phones, instant messaging and texting devices are creating new family dynamics at holiday dinners and family gatherings!! Well - is this family at 'co-presence'?

In the survey:

* Seventy percent of young adults (ages 18-22) and 56 percent of parents surveyed say they've made or answered wireless calls during a holiday gathering.
* Thirty-five percent of young adults say they've read or sent an e-mail or text message under the dinner table during a holiday family gathering.
* In addition, 67 percent of parents and young adults now agree that it is okay to use their mobile phone during holiday gatherings. Moreover, 73 percent of people surveyed agree the mobile phone can improve the holidays by keeping people in touch with those not there in person.
