Top 10 points of Cell Phone Addictions
There was an early morning news release that a study was done in the UK – and the percentages were shared as to the Mobile Phone Addictions and how it relates to certain age groups.
Recently in the mall I have been watching the number of people that use the phone – continually. Four adults yesterday, likely ranging from 50 to 60 years of age were sitting at a table in the food court. All four were staring intently at the screen of the cell phones. Each was checking for messages. None were talking to each other.
Just a few months ago it would have been only teenagers checking messages. Now it is almost everyone.
Today at the mall I will be conducting my new survey again to see how many phones I can count in a 15 minuet period of time. Then I will place some guestimates on the age of the users. Should be fun. They will never see me looking and counting. Cell phone users do not see and are not aware – of anything.
Here is the a list of the Top 10 points of Cell Phone Addictions given by Digital Trends… great stuff guys and gals – (reference below)
10. You’ve spent more on accessories than on your phone.
9. You have 30 different apps installed. And use them all.
8. You have alarms telling you when to do everything in your life.
7. You read about your phone on your phone.
6. You’ve cut back on necessities to afford your $100 a month cell phone bill.
5. A full battery charge barely lasts the day.
4. You broke it, and it feels like you lost a friend.
3. When you meet people with the same phone, you can only talk about the phone.
2. You feel a brief moment of panic when you touch your pocket (or grope to the bottom of your purse) and it’s gone.
1. You use it in the bathroom.
NOTE: If you do not know what most of the words I used above are about - you do not own a cell phone and/or you definitely are not addicted and you are likely OLD!
