| Younger people and faster lived groups switched earlier I noticed younger people forego landlines more.
Also, I noticed groups of people who live faster lives (earlier and more children, earlier and more death) have also en-masse switched faster to cell phones, and away from land lines, as well. I think this trend is mostly an accellerated version of what is happening in the whole populace -- the older people tend to have more landlines, and the younger people less, but since the older people in these faster lived people are less old than the older people in the more normal population, even the older people in those fast-lived groups are more transitioned to cell-only than the general population. This, of course, has a compounding effect, in that they do what they see and since they're fast-lived, they are more monkey-see-monkey-do than the more long-lived types of people, and thus that snowballs into a faster transition for that group.
For the two abovementioned (sub)groups, I bet it's way over 25%.
These observations are more in California. |
