Digital crack on the go!

Ms. Alessandra Sagredo over at Here Women Talk unearths some very disturbing statistics on mobile internet addiction via a study recently performed.

Her article can be found here: The Lure of Digital Crack; Smartphone Addicts | Here Women Talk

From the article:


With 200 participants, a few interesting points included: - 75% of participants admitted falling asleep with their iPhones - 69% said they were more likely to forget their wallets in the morning than their iPhones - 32% of those who were not yet a “confessed addict” expressed concern that they would become addicted some day...and my personal favorite… 41%  said that losing their iPhone would be “a tragedy”.
While the study may have focused on iPhones, this can easily apply to any mobile device.

Alessandra challenges her readers to see just how well they can do without their mobile devices and, honestly, I can't see myself without my phone for even an hour, let alone a day!

Be sure to head on over to Alessandra's blog and show her some love for a well written article!
