More Adults Using Internet To Make Phone Calls

WASHINGTON - The land line telephone is slowly disappearing from American life, replaced by the cell phone. But, the cell phone may be on its way out too.
 
That phone on your hip or in your purse may soon be replaced with some other kind of device, smarter than your smart phone.
 
A new poll by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project shows 24 percent of adult Internet users have placed calls on the Internet, a major spike from just 8 percent four years ago.
 
"It's part of a longer term process where people are moving away from land line telephones to cell phones or Internet phones" says Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
