Are You Addicted to Your iPhone?
According to a recent UK telecommunications study, 37 percent of adults admit they are highly addicted to their smartphones. This comes as no surprise to us.
From checking email in the bathroom stall to playing Angry Birds at the dinner table, it seems that smartphone obsessions only seem to be growing more and more prevalent. Just show up at one of our staff meetings, and you'll see iPhones and iPads strewn in every direction. Although we might be a little more likely to reach for our iPhones than the average person, we're certainly not alone.
CNN Health featured an article outlining three signs that you might be addicted to your smartphone:
- You check your e-mail more than you need to.
- You're annoying other people.
- The thought of not checking makes you break out in a cold sweat.
Regardless of how addicted you may or may not be, one thing is certain: Smartphone usage is ingrained in our lifestyles.
Our smartphones are always with us. They've become our alarm clocks, our cameras, our music players…and certainly our address books. While we depend on them to do so many things, we still have to make decisions about the apps that make the most sense to accomplish what we need them to do.
