More significantly, the increase is driven by adults aged 35 and older joining younger users in this habit." So us old folks are leading the trend? I like that! The article goes on to say the US and France lead the way in this area. No surprise about France as they do seem to have a large amount of mobile tech sites. I am surprised that France is ahead of Japan though where they seem to be way ahead of all of us in the amount of new gadgets they get that we never see here in the states. Interesting read.
