Has the mobile gone too far?
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 just proving that without things like mobile phones the country would come to a stand still. This goes on to say that an insanely high amount of 53,658,000 phones are carried around in bags and pockets in the streets of the UK every single day.It is a fact that Britain as a whole sends over 1 Billion texts a week which actually puts us up into the top 6 for texting in the world which is silly if you consider how small Britain is.
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 all the time.
The most prominant question to ask is why? The answer is not difficult at all. 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. Phones are becoming more and more advanced by the year with some having either MP3 within the phone itself or in the case of the I-Phone an actual I-pod included within the phone! 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 simply 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!
