Cellphones may indeed have become ubiquitous,
but thanks for small mercies--                      PHONES_UBER_ALLES

  "Along with mobile phones, Americans own a range of
  other information devices. About three-quarters of
  U.S. adults now own a desktop or laptop computer ..."

  "There has been a steady decline of those who use
  smartphones as their primary means of online access at
  home in recent years. Today, 15% of American adults
  are 'smartphone-only' internet users ..."


But then:

  "Reliance on smartphones for online access is especially
  common among younger adults, lower-income Americans and
  those with a high school education or less."

         From eyeballing the graphs, it's around
         half of that group-- the other half uses
         real computers when they can.
