Cell Phone Fact

4 billion people on planet earth own cell phones. The total population of the planet is 6 billion people.

In Jackson, many of my friends do not have land lines and thus rely solely on cell phones. I wonder if any other personal electronic devices have been adopted by this large of a percentage of the overall population? It's astonishing when considering that 13 years ago, hardly anyone owned a cell phone (one girl in my high school had a car phone).
