Smartphones have become an essential companion to millions, going well beyond being used as a voice phone. Even so, there are numerous online adults not using a smartphone and using other devices to communicate and create. Many adults are using a basic cell phone – a feature phone – and using PCs or tablets for email, shopping, and other activities. Also, a substantial number of online adults are only using a fraction of their smartphone’s capabilities while others have adopted theirs as their primary connected device.
