Has the mobile gone too far?
By pfhometheater | February 16, 2010
A recent poll has shown that British people are very highly addicted to thier mobile phones. The poll states that a wopping 88% of us will not leave our homes without taking thier mobile phone. This is simply saying that as a country without mobile phones we would come to a halt. Whats this also means is that a wopping 53,658,000 phones are carried around in bags and pockets in the streets of the UK every single day. In truth Britain sends over 1 Billion texts a week putting us into the top 6 for texting in the world which is ridiculous considering Britain is such a small country.
The poll went on to say that over anything else a mobile is the one thing we will always take with us even over a wallet or purse. Funnily enough the midlands saw the best/worst result depending on how you look at things with a massive 98% of people saying they carried it with them every single day.
The most prominant question to ask is why? It is quite simple really. The amount of things a mobile phone can now do is astronomical ranging from a simple text or call to checking the bank details online or even getting insurance quotes. As the years progress the mobile phone is becoming more and more advanced with some including MP3 within the phone itself as well as things like video calling and voice recognition! As well as this you can now watch television as well as your favourite film all from the touch of a button on the phone as well as look at quotes from different car insurance firms!
Of course it does mean that muggings have risen simply because there are more phones out there to take as well as the question are we becoming too dependent on technology? It seems as the generations go on and on we are becoming more and more lazier as this was certainly not like this thirty years ago.
If technology is your thing then why not look for gadget insurance to make sure your favourite new gadget is protected against anything and everything!
