According to the Pew Research Center, "as of September 2009, 54% of internet users have a wireless connection to the internet via a laptop, cellphone, game console or other mobile device. Of those, 25% use Twitter or another similar service, up from 14% of wireless users in December 2008."

The phenomenon does not seem to be confined to the young and tech-savvy. According to Susannah Fox, Kathryn Zickuhr, and Aaron Smith, authors of the survey, the mere ownership and use of a wireless internet connected device results in a much higher likelihood that the user will tweet.

The more such devices in your possession, and the more formal education you have consumed, the more likely that you will succumb to the siren call of the 140 character muse. It is not simply because this group is likely to be young or tech-savvy. Owning and using a wireless internet device makes an internet user significantly more likely to tweet, as does having attended college.
