Horseshit.

And more horseshit.

You always were a shitty, lying "advocate", Homer.  Not as bad as Rex

What do you think it shows?

Table 1: mobile phone shipments (000)
2012:  1,746,177
2013:  1,804,334
2014:  1,893,425
2015:  1,964,788

Total: 7,408,724

What do you think that shows?

Go ahead and interpret that number for us, compared to the world population.

Gartner predicts."
