Americans say they would have more trouble giving up a cell phone than a traditional phone, the Pew Internet and American Life Project said in a report Wednesday. Less than two years earlier, respondents still considered their landlines the most crucial technology.
"The preferences have flipped," said John Horrigan, author of the new Pew report. "During that timeframe, people have purchased new devices that have more capabilities. People have more experience using cell phones for text messaging and other information tools."
According to Pew, the cell phone is the technological tool its users would have most difficulty giving up, followed by the Internet and television. Landline phones ranked fourth in the latest survey, just above e-mail.
