How much does your cellphone mean to you? According to a new survey conducted by location-based services provider Telenav, people are willing to go without shoes, caffeine and even sex rather than give up their cellphone. Not exactly shocking results, considering how much our phones are capable of nowadays.According to the survey “smartphone users were three times more likely to admit that they judge people based on the type of phone they carry”. Two thirds of respondents admitted they sleep with their mobiles by their bedsides. Of the three most popular cellphone types (you guessed it), iPhone users are the most attached to their device/BFF.
Psychologists warn that smartphone users are in danger of becoming addicted to the device. Another study found that “almost half of teenagers and more than a quarter of adults now own a smartphone, with most using their iPhone or Blackberry to browse Facebook and email.”
We're addicted to our most frequent companions. So, what would you give up?
