I don't have statistics, but I work with teens and it is a thing. I've also noticed it's a point of social expression to align themselves with phone for tasks, and even claim they're easier than on a laptop/desktop when they're obviously not.

I was lucky to get a laptop before a smartphone, which probably influenced my opinions greatly. But I'm thinking that for most kids now, they get a smartphone long before a personal computer. Perhaps this is part of it.

Maybe parents should supply their children with a bluetooth keyboard from the get go and make a real effort to teach kid how much faster they can type on it?

I say this while I'm typing on my phone, so who knows ;)
