More and more, people are turning to their mobile phones for their Internet fix. According to new research from the Pew Internet and American Life Project, 17 percent of cell phone owners do most of their online browsing on their phone rather than a computer or other device. The study found that most prefer their mobile for its convenience, but for some their phone is their only option for online access. Nearly half of all 18-29 year olds who use the Internet on their cell phones do most of their online browsing on their mobile device. Half of African-American cell Internet users do most of their online browsing on their phone, double the proportion of whites. Two in five Latino cell Internet users fall into the “cell-mostly” category. Additionally, those with an annual household income of less than $50,000 per year and those who have not graduated college are more likely than those with higher levels of income and education to use their phones for most of their online browsing.
