Not Average

Like that's a surprise.

Americans love mobile phones more than Internet: study

Americans would find it harder to part with their mobile phones than the Internet, television or landline telephones, according to a survey released Wednesday.

Nuh uh! I have no attachment to my cell phone whatsoever and would give it up over the internet or TV any day. I probably use my cell phone once or twice a month, more on vacations. But the internet? [HUGS] Nope, not giving that up!

Later the next day: Judging from the comments, the people who did this survey obviously didn't talk to anyone with an LJ! [g]

I'm right with ya Woman! I don't even own a cell phone!!

I'd give my cell phone up in a heartbeat if I could get away with it. I'd give up everyone else's for them as well. If the internet makes us rude, it's nothing to the cell phone.

I was just discussing this with someone yesterday. I go for days not even knowing where my mobile phone is much less if it is charged. I use the thing once a week (if that) and I would rather not even own the thing. I must have it due to our business, and I've found it helpful when I take long car trips alone, but for the most part I think the things are evil. Land line phone I might be able to live without. I don't use it much either. What I'd miss there is my voicemail function. I really just don't even answer the thing. TV or Internet, however, I would become twitchy -- in fact DO become twitchy -- in an hour or so.

I really hate mobile phones and all those folks talking while driving or in classes or saying personal stuff loudly on the bus. It's just crazy!

Well, my cell phone gives me both (I have an Iphone). But just a cell phone? Not as big of a deal but its extremely convenient.

Wow, that's kinda bizarre, to me. I forget I HAVE a cell phone lots of days, but I need my internet!

I'm totally with you. I barely know my cellphone exists until it starts beeping at me that its battery is dead. No one bothers to call me on it because I never answer. I'm not sure why I have it except that it does come in handy occasionally.

Now, the internet? I think I'd die without it.
