- Jensson 1y agoAlmost everyone, not everyone, majority of households in USA had a computer already by year 2000, and that is counting old people without kids who didn't keep up with trends. So by the time smart phones hit almost everyone had a computer at home. If you are talking about the 90s that isn't relevant, the relevant part is how smart phones changed things, and at that time internet was already available to a large majority at home, smart phones just made it portable.
- lomase 1y agoI just looked it up. In the 2000: 50% households in US had computer at home. 36% had internet access. I love when people reply wuth shit they have no fucking idea.
