Young people use mobile phones and spoil the statistics of telephone surveys
The new generation practically does not use landlines, preferring mobile devices to them. This complicates the activities of companies that conduct telephone surveys. As a result, the results, for example, of election polls can be very, very inaccurate.
According to a Pew Research study, 13% of American households do not have a “ground communications” apparatus at all and use only cellular ones (in 2003 only 3.2% of these were). At the same time, 7% of families have no phones at all (maybe they have enough Internet access).
By 2008, the number of families abandoning a landline phone in favor of mobile phones will be a quarter of the total, and this makes it difficult to conduct surveys. However, many of those people who use cellular, often not married and do not own real estate.
