Americans prefer wireless technology to landlines, confirms a recently released study of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The study taking into account National Health Interview Survey conducted through phone calls from January 2007- June 2010, reveals that 27% of US households rely completely on wireless technology.
Arkansas and Mississippi top the list with 35% wireless technology users, although both of them are not high-technology hubs. In contrast, New Jersey and Rhodes Island register just 13% wireless technology users. This is the lowest on the list.
The study suggests that the high use of wireless technology devices in Arkansas and Mississippi results from the two states being hard hit by recession. People with limited spending money are attracted to discounted cellular services that are a financially easier option than landlines.
