A new survey by the National Center for Health Statistics in Hyattsville, Md., says 16 percent of U.S. households are now cell phone-only. The use of household land line phones has retreated to the level it was in the late 1960s.
The government survey showed that than a third of people aged 25 to 29 lived in cell phone-only households, and for those 18 to 24, it was nearly 31 percent.
Among people who were 30 to 44, that fell to 15.5 percent; for people 45 to 64, it was 8 percent; and for 65 and older it was just more than 2 percent.
