I came across this short article on ABC News about some recently released statistics from the Pew Research Center on American's smartphone usage; statistics that pretty much sum up what I've felt was the current state of affairs regarding smartphone usage.

I can tell you I'm in that 7% group that use their smartphone as their primary internet source. That's not because of my economic situation or lack of other Internet sources.
For me is about choice.
I could pay for home internet service, but my cell phone service provider actually gives me truly unlimited data plus a fair amount of mobile hotspot and/or tethering. I don't watch tv except for my local channels which I get through my digital tv antenna. I either rent movies from Redbox or rent/buy them from the Google Play Store. (The later allows me to download movies to my phone so I can watch them offline. That's a godsend on long flights with no Wi-Fi onboard!)
So what say you...are you dependent on your smartphone for your internet needs? If so, is it by choice or other extenuating circumstances? Sound off in the comments section below.
