A recent survey reports that the majority of us want mobile apps to access government services and get important info from government agencies.

And that majority is growing.

Today, almost 70% of all Americans own a smart phone , and that number increases to about 80% when we look at those who are 49 years old and younger.

But more disconcerting is the fact that a growing number of mostly minority and low-income Americans, around 15% , depend either completely are almost solely on their smart phone for access to the internet.

And while we continue to more than double the amount of time we spend on our phones, it's mostly to play games, socialize, check mail and watch videos.

But the apps consumers use most often may eventually change, thanks to government and nonprofit agencies adopting both internal and public-facing mobile apps to provide easier, better and faster access to services and information.
