Only 19% of the respondents over 50 had smartphone compared to 52% of those between 18 and 29. Of those smartphone owners, 99% of those between 18 and 29 had sent or received txt messages, but only 78% of those over 50 had participated in txt communication (I&#8217;m presuming that those who did were communicating with people 18 &#8211; 29 ;->). The difference in accessing social networking sites was even greater with 76% of the younger group being social on their phones compared to 32% of those over 50 years of age. The groups were closer when it came to email access on their smart phones 82% to 62%.<\/p>\n<p>What to make of these numbers? First that owning smartphones, using them for txting and mobile social networking are normative for the millennial generation. For the Boomers and beyond, owning a smartphone is far from normative and mobile social networking is quite rare. <\/p>\n<p>My claim in the #noemail project is that communications were becoming more mobile, more social, valuing the fast more integrated and brief &#8212; and will include location awareness. The Millennials are not only leading the way but have made those behaviors a normal part of their everyday lives.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pewinternet.org\/Reports\/2011\/Cell-Phones\/Section-2\/Focus-on-Smartphone-Owners.aspx\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Pew Internet 2011 Smartphone Ownership and Use\" src=\"http:\/\/pewinternet.org\/Reports\/2011\/Cell-Phones\/Section-2\/~\/media\/799BA3FF45B940A990F453D0F8AFC109.JPG?w=434&#038;h=500&#038;as=1\" title=\"Pew Internet 2011 Smartphone Ownership and Use\" class=\"alignnone\" width=\"434\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest Pew Internet study on smartphone highlights the strong generational differences in how we access and use the internet in America.
