Use is growing, but some adults still apps-backward

The CNN article, Use is growing, but some adults still apps-backward was definitely eye-opening for me. It talks about the low percentage of US adults who actually use the apps on their smartphones. Many adults did not even know that they had apps on their phones. I thought that an overwhelming majority of the population used apps. The article also mentions that these applications on smart phones are still in their infancy, which is contrary to what I had previously believed about this innovation. All in all, I think people should look more into phones before buying them and only purchase a smartphone if they are really going to use it. Many people may be paying more for a fancy phone and have no clue that they're doing it. The market should offer some more basic phones for these adults who have no clue how to even use a smartphone.
