Have you ever been at a party and felt an awkward moment, so pulled out your cell phone and pretended to text, check an email, or chat?
Interesting huh?
But if so..you are Not alone.
A recent PEW study said that 13% of all folks in the USA DID admit to using their cell phones to prevent unwanted or awkward social interactions.
So NOW we know why EVERYONE is texting on an elevator, or so it seems huh?
Its amazing how this small items eats up so much of our daily lives..And the strange thing is that
most of the time we do EVERYTHING with a cell phone BUT TALK!!
Its s strange beast to have...It tracks your every move, sends out GPS signals to locate you down to the address, it allows you to take a picture or video and have it go all over the globe in a matter of seconds, it gives you instant access to lots of things including PORN!
That same PEW study says that a whooping 42% use their Cell Phones to prevent boredom!!! What in the HELL did we do in the 70's I wonder as I reflect back!!
53 percent of American adults own a smartphone!! Wow!
According to the Nielsen 2010 Media Industry Fact Sheet, 16.7 million of these users also access the web via their cell phones (up from 13 percent in 2008), according to the same study.
According to CTIA, The Wireless Association, the total minutes of cell phone use for Americans in 2009 was 2.3 trillion !!!!! Ya Think?
Get this, Americans sent 152.7 billion SMS messages a month and 1.56 trillion over the course of the year during 2009, according to CTIA.
Tell the truth....How would you feel if you did not have it for a few hours? would you feel cut off or disconnected?
People don't have to physically talk now a days with texting and social media doing it for them.
