More Americans would have a hard time giving up their cellphone than giving up the Internet or TV. That’s what a Pew study found, at least. Six years ago, most people said that giving up a landline telephone would be the hardest technology to give up.

I look at it like this. I’m online, that is, using a full-fledged computer, something like 17 hours a day. If someone needs to reach me they can IM me.
