For example, it found that adults in wireless-only households were more likely than adults in households with landlines to report binge-drinking, smoking, uncovered health insurance, and limited access to health care.
Shocking! How many "adults" do you know who don't have a landline phone? Its a youtube generation thing folks, or at least a more youthful one. My guess is that if we controlled this study for age distribution, we would conclude that:
"younger people are more likely to use cell phones in favor of having a landline phone"
As opposed to:
"people in households with no landline tend to be binge-drinkers"
No knock against the youthful cell phone sector here - my mother is brilliant, but teaching her to use a computer was maddening because she learned how to type on a typewriter. Word Processing felt weird and strange. Just took her longer to adopt the idea, but now she's working on a PHD and setting the curve academically. Try doing that today without a computer.
To all you cell-phone only kids out there, there once was a time when we had to plug the phone into the wall, and dial with our fingers. I know, crazy, right?
