June 24, 2015 Largest Share of Households Is Wireless-Only In the last half of 2014, Americans crossed a threshold. The plurality of households now has only cell phones, surpassing for the first time the percentage with both cell and landline phones. In July-December 2014, fully 45.4 percent of households were wireless-only and 42.7 percent had both landline and cell phones. Only 8.4 percent of households are landline only and another 3.2 percent have no telephone. By age of householder, these are the wireless-only households...

Good information, but bad situation.
In the past you could leave a voice message on someone's answering machine and be pretty sure they actually received the message.
Now you leave a message on a cell phone--where the cell-phone user is not identified when you leave the message--and you have no idea if they ever received the message (unless by some strange chance they actually call you back).
Worse still, you don't even know if you left the message at the right number or with the right person.
Cell phones are just another "innovation" that is causing society to move backwards & become more dysfunctional.
(Electronic Medical Records is another de-evolutionary "innovation".)
