Get Away From My Phone, Porky!
A new government study confirms what most of us already knew; cellphone usage is out-pacing landlines in U.S. household. 20% of all U.S. households have no landline at all…only a cell phone…while only 17% of households have a landline and no cellphone. This is most prevelant among persons age 25 to 29; the study found that 40% of this age group only use cellphones.
Here’s the part I don’t understand…the study was undertaken by the Center for Disease Control. With the threat of a worldwide pandemic brought on by Swine Flu, the CDC is doing phone studies? I don’t care how many phones the 25 to 29 year-olds have, I want important stuff, like how many pigs have used a phone in the last 30 days! Or how long should I wait to use a phone after eating pork! So, I say back to the clipboards CDC and give me something I can use.
