A new Time Magazine global survey of attitudes towards cellphones and connectedness reveals some not-too-surprising attitudes:
A tool our parents could not have imagined has become a lifeline we can’t do without. Not for a day—in most cases not even for an hour. In Time’s poll, 1 in 4 people check it every 30 minutes, 1 in 5 every 10 minutes. A third of respondents admitted that being without their mobile for even short periods leaves them feeling anxious. It is a form of sustenance, that constant feed of news and notes and nonsense, to the point that twice as many people would pick their phone over their lunch if forced to choose. Three-quarters of 25-to-29-year-olds sleep with their phones.
Nothing particularly surprising in a world in which phantom cellphone vibration and sleeptexting are Real Things That Exist.
