17% of cell phone owners do most of their online browsing on their phone.

Key Findings from Pew Research Cell Internet Use report

Crazy! A bit more math and we can determine, since 88% of U.S. adults own a cell phone, that <strong>15% of American adults are using their phones, more than any other device, to browse the web</strong>. 88% is a significant increase even since April, when I pegged that same statistic at 83% in my <a href="http://blog.planetargon.com/entries/2012/4/11/mobile-web-statistics-short-and-sweet">Mobile Web Statistics article</a>. This percentage is even larger for young Americans- 45% of 18-29 year olds who access the internet on their phones, compared with 31% for adults in general, use their phones for the majority of their web browsing. What does this mean? For web professionals, mobile should most definitely not be an afterthought. Yes, many people are using their phones as an additional web-capable device but, as these numbers reveal, tons of Americans are using their phones as their <strong>primary</strong> internet device. The landscape is changing- whether we're ready or not.

We try not to spend money on things that don’t matter to customers. Frugality breeds resourcefulness, self-sufficiency and invention. There are no extra points for headcount, budget size or fixed expense.

It's crazy to think that this was written over six years ago.
