Comment on Luxury or Necessity? The Public Makes a U-Turn

Comments

I'm rather blown away that 49% of 18-29 year-olds consider a land line phone to be a necessity.

I think the last time I had a land line was a decade ago, when I was 17. And I live in the decidedly non-cutting-edge midwest. Even my parents haven't had a land line in years.

When I was laid off a little over a month ago, I was looking for things to get rid of. Even though I have a cellphone, I kept the landline: I knew I was going to be doing a lot of interviews over the phone, and I knew that my cellphone drops a lot of calls and generally sounds crappy inside the house.
