Participants in the survey were asked which technological tool would be the hardest to give up. Cell phones topped the list, followed by the internet, TV, landlines and internet. In 2006 landlines were in the number one spot followed by cell phones.
Personally, we ditched our landline a couple of years ago. After we got laptops and upgraded to a wireless network/cable internet.
I ditched my landline years ago as well. š

We realized that the most common use for our landlines was for dial-up or be harassed by telemarketers. We now have cable internet & don’t miss the telemarketers.

More and more people I know are ditching their landline. Most people call me on my cellphone. Our landline is packaged with our cable and internet.

Aw man, I’m addicted to all of the above. I can’t remember the last time I used a land line. I too text message about as often as I make calls on my cell phone.
