Try to answer yourself honestly, how many of us and you in particular, could spend a day without touching the smartphone without checking notifications without running games etc. ?
And at least an hour? An interesting study on this subject had a Bank of America, saying that 47% of surveyed Americans can not live without your smartphone day, and 13% are not able to withstand even an hour without touching the device.
Also, 51% of respondents check their smartphones for new events at least once per hour, and 35% do so regularly. This proves that modern gadgets cause persistent addictive and habit.
Extremely interesting was the question from what Americans are willing to give up in order to use the gadget. For example, if you take away a person smart, what of the pleasures in life, he is willing to sacrifice to get back up the phone. 45% are willing to give up alcohol, 34% will sacrifice chocolate (27% women, 42 men), 22% abandon shopping, and 13% are willing to stop having sex, 8% donate car.
People aged 18-24 believe that the smartphone is a very important part of their lives, more necessary than a toothbrush or deodorant.
