Trends: Laptops and Cellphones Dominate

About a month ago, it was reported that in the third quarter of 2008, sales of laptop computers exceeded desktop sales for the first time ever. A similar phenomenon has been taking place for phone preferences, as the BLS now reports that:
In 2001, the ratio of spending on residential phone services to spending on cellular phone services was greater than 3 to 1 (see chart above). In 2007, cellular phone expenditures accounted for 55% of total telephone expenditures compared to 43% for residential phone expenditures.
