[Darci Hanning]

Greetings everyone!

Pew Internet has released another report, "Cell Phone Activities 2013" that will probably be of interest to most of us:

Web page: http://www.pewinternet.org/Reports/2013/Cell-Activities.aspx

Overview:
Fully 91% of American adults own a cell phone and many use the devices for much more than phone calls. In our most recent nationally representative survey, we checked in on some of the most popular activities people perform on their cell phones and found:

  *   81% of cell phone owners send or receive text messages
  *   60% of cell phone owners access the internet
  *   52% send or receive email
  *   50% download apps
  *   49% get directions, recommendations, or other location-based information
  *   48% listen to music
  *   21% participate in a video call or video chat
  *   8% "check in" or share their location

Full report: web page<http://www.pewinternet.org/Reports/2013/Cell-Activities/Main-Findings.aspx> or PDF document<http://www.pewinternet.org/~/media/Files/Reports/2013/PIP_Cell%20Phone%20Activities%20May%202013.pdf>
