If it seems like everybody always has a cell phone glued to their ear, you are not  imagining things. This is because statistically,  everybody in the US  has  at  least  one cell phone. Recently, an a cell phone organization called the CTIA gave a report that there are more cell phones than people in the United States. This shocking data was acquired from a nationwide survey in late June. According to the survey, there are about 315.5 million people in the US and its territories. In this same area, there are at least 327.6 million cell phones. With the amount of smart-phones closing in on one million, the wireless connecting that the phones are capable of has nearly doubled the amount of mobile data. Clearly, Americans have become much more dependent on their mobile technology. This huge increase in the amount of cell phones has surprisingly only created a 1% increase in total minutes. This means that cell phones have become something more than just verbal communication machines. Now, people use smart-phones as mobile computers. I think that our over-saturation of cell phones in the population is a bad thing. It is almost impossible that every single one of those cell phones is in use. This large and unnecessary waste of technology and money could be used for other more important things. However, needless to say, the cell phone business is in no trouble.
