Look Up From that Screen
A recent study monitoring the behavior of mobile phone owners shows that the average smartphone owner picks up his device a staggering 1,500 times in a week and spends more than three hours a day staring into its screen. The numbers come from a survey of 2,000 smartphone owners. This is going to make me reevaluate some things about my phone services and mobile application usage. This is actually taking time away from looking at bigger screens such as laptops. Still, over three hours? That seems like an inordinate amount of time and is it really all that productive? I mean there could be other things that we could be doing and do not say that these three hours happen while multitasking. It is also worth looking at the type of people that were in the survey and maybe expanding the population to include wider ranges in many of the areas. How often is your nose in your phone or you are staring at a screen that is taking away from better things that you could be doing?

You could try your hand at web development or even application development. It is better than just staring at the screen.
ReplyDeleteNot looking up from the mobile application can result in running into things and people. We are so engrossed with the software development that we forget the world.
ReplyDeleteIf you are spending that much time using mobile application, you might as well learn how to create your own.
ReplyDeleteWe should be using the mobile applications smarter so that we do not waste nearly as much time. Too much time is spent crushing candies.
