From the report:
83% of adults own a cell phone and 73% use text-messages. A Pew Research Center survey asked how adults like to be contacted: by voice calls or text messages. 53% preferred voice calls, 31% preferred text-messages, and 14% said it depended on the situation. Young adults between the ages of 18 to 24 are the most avid users of text-messages.

September 14-Daniel A. Freeman
The workshop that I discusses last week, “Using Google Apps for a More Efficient Library,” finished its second session. The article discusses the preliminary readings again and gives the resources for the second session. These are both books so I could not read them for this post. There is a link to slides used in the presentation by Suzann Holland “Basic Tools, New Realms.”
Very interesting information. I just gave in and finally ordered me a tablet, so I will have to figure out all these apps.
ReplyDeleteMy parents are in their late 50's and have a hard time with texting on the phone. They can recieve a message and view it but they have trouble sending one. I prefer texting but I dislike it on my touch screen phone. I prefer on a phone with an actual keyboard.(Just my preference).
